As a domain expert in web development, I can tell you that CSS selectors are generally
case-insensitive; this includes class and ID selectors. However, it's important to note that HTML class names are
case-sensitive when it comes to how they are defined in the HTML document. If your CSS selector does not match the case of the class name in the HTML, it will not apply the styles. For instance, if you define a class in HTML as `
`, you would need to use `.myClass` in your CSS, not `.myclass` or `.MyClass`. If the document type were to define class names as
case-insensitive, then the case of the CSS selector would not matter, but as it stands with most current HTML and CSS specifications, you must match the case of the class name as defined in the HTML.
