nothing...except that the first is the current way, which is universally supported, and the second is the "future" way with CSS3...which is not yet widely supported

 

but they are meant to accomplish the same thing

I haven't seen the second one before.. I don't like the idea of having to switch to doing it that way. It seems a bit unnecessary.

on the contrary, it's FANTASTIC. inside the brackets you will be able to have any attribute. for example, say you have a site and you want to change the style of it. let's set the width of all our <input type="text"> elements to 120px. in our stylesheet, we can't use something like this:

input { width: 120px; }

because that will change all our buttons and checkboxes too. so the only option is to add a class to EVERY text input on the site. but with CSS3 we can just do:

input[type="text"] { width: 120px; }
