h1 tag not styled

[piano0011]

Hey guys!

I have the following code, which is my main page. My <h1> tag in the title doesn't change when I do the following.. div.title {} but it does when I do this.. div.title h1{}, just like to know why this is so...

 <img class="pc101" src="includes/pictures/pc101.gif" alt="pianocourse101 logo"/>
    <div class="music"><i class="fas fa-music fa-8x"></i></div>

    <div class="sharp"><p>&#9839</p></div>
    <div class="natural"><p>&#9838</p></div>
    <div class="flat"><p>&#9837</p></div>
    

    <div class="main-wrapper">
      <div class="title">
        <br></br>

       <h1>Welcome to PianoCourse101</h1>
     </div>
       <br></br>
    </div>

    <div class="main-wrapper">
      <div class="first">

This is the working CSS code:

div.title h1{
   position: absolute;
   left: 700px;
   top: 700px;
   
   line-height: 100px;

   font-family: 'Aldrich', sans-serif;
   font-family: 'Mr Dafoe', cursive ;
   font-size: 50px;
}

Hmm...both work for me. Of course, the <h1> tag content looks bigger when using div.title { ... }, but that's because the <h1> tag is using the browser-defined size for <h1> tags.

That is weird... so both of them should work?

They did for me. I checked the page in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Just be aware that your <h1> tag content may end up overlapping your other content at some point. Basically you are locking the <h1> tag so that it is always 700 pixels from the top and 700px from the left of its "closest positioned ancestor". More information about the CSS position property can be found here:
