For a structure like below <div class=container> <div class=headers> <div class=header></div> <div class=header></div> …

For a structure like below

<div class="container">
<div class="headers">
  <div class="header"></div>
  <div class="header"></div>
  ...
</div>
<div class="contents">
  <div class="content"></div>
  <div class="content"></div>
  ...
</div>
</div>

I am applying a css style like below but seems the background color gets applied only to the headers and not the content(Style is applied during hover event)

.container .header,.content{background-color:#55bbee;font-weight:700;color:#fff}

I am certainly sure it’s a mistake with the selector, but where is the mistake puzzles me.I could do this and work happily but how to do it in single line

.container .header{background-color:#55bbee;font-weight:700;color:#fff}
.container .content{background-color:#55bbee;font-weight:700;color:#fff}

    As far as I know you can’t group selectors. You have to reference .container twice

    .container .header, .container .content { 
      background-color:#55bbee; font-weight:700; color:#fff
    }
