To select elements by class value the `.` symbol + value can be used. For example, `.product` would select any element that contains `product` in the `class` attribute:

<div> <div class="product">select</div> <div class="sold product">select</div> <div class="sold product new">select</div> <div class="product-2">ignore</div> </div> Note that this selector matches any element that contains a class value in the class list (separated by spaces). To match elements that contain the *exact class value* the predicate syntax can be used:

<div> <div class="product">ignore</div> <div class="sold product">select</div> <div class="sold product new">ignore</div> <div class="product-2">ignore</div> </div>
