The given CSS code uses the #name selector, which is an ID selector. The ID selector is used to style an element with a specific id attribute.
* ID Selector: In CSS, the ID selector is used to style the element with the specific id. The syntax for the ID selector is #id, where id is the id attribute value of the HTML element.
* Usage Example:
#name {
text-align: left;
}
This CSS rule will apply the text-align: left; style to the element with id="name".
* ID Selector Characteristics:
* An ID must be unique within a document, meaning it can be used only once per page.
* ID selectors are more specific than class selectors and element selectors.
* Example in HTML:
<div id="name">This is a div with ID "name".</div>
