CSS - Attributes Selectors
Style HTML Elements With Specific Attributes
It is possible to style HTML elements that have specific attributes, not just class and id.
Note: Internet Explorer 7 (and higher) supports attribute selectors only if a !DOCTYPE is specified. Attribute selection is NOT supported in IE6 and lower.
Attribute Selector
The example below styles all elements with a title attribute:
Attribute Selector Example
Attribute and Value Selector
The example below styles all elements with title="Leakbali":
Attribute and Value Selector Example
[title=Leakbali]
{
border:5px solid green;
}
Attribute and Value Selector - Multiple Values
The example below styles all elements with a title attribute that contains a specified value. This works even if the attribute has space separated values:
Multiple Values Example
[title~=hello] { color:blue; }
The example below styles all elements with a lang attribute that contains a specified value. This works even if the attribute has hyphen ( - ) separated values:
Example
[lang|=en] { color:blue; }
Styling Forms
The attribute selectors are particularly useful for styling forms without class or ID:
Styling Forms Example
input[type="text"]
{
width:150px;
display:block;
margin-bottom:10px;
background-color:yellow;
}
input[type="button"]
{
width:120px;
margin-left:35px;
display:block;
}
