FSCSS Attribute Selectors
Style HTML Elements With Specific Attributes
It is possible to style HTML elements that have specific attributes or attribute values.

FSCSS $(attribute:value) Selector
The $(attribute:value) selector is used to select elements with a specified attribute and value.

The following example selects all elements with a target="_blank" attribute:

Example

a$(target:_blank) { background-color: yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

FSCSS $(attribute~:value) Selector
The $(attribute~:value) selector is used to select elements with an attribute value containing a specified word.

The following example selects all elements with a title attribute that contains a space-separated list of words, one of which is "flower":

Example

$(title~:flower) { border: 5px solid yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The example above will match elements with title="flower", title="summer flower", and title="flower new", but not title="my-flower" or title="flowers".

FSCSS $(attribute|:value) Selector
The $(attribute|:value) selector is used to select elements with the specified attribute, whose value can be exactly the specified value, or the specified value followed by a hyphen (-).

Note: The value has to be a whole word, either alone, like class="top", or followed by a hyphen( - ), like class="top-text".

Example

$(class|:top) { background: yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

FSCSS $(attribute^:value) Selector
The $(attribute^:value) selector is used to select elements with the specified attribute, whose value starts with the specified value.

The following example selects all elements with a class attribute value that starts with "top":

Note: The value does not have to be a whole word!

Example

$(class^:top) { background: yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

FSCSS $(attribute$:value) Selector
The $(attribute$:value) selector is used to select elements whose attribute value ends with a specified value.

The following example selects all elements with a class attribute value that ends with "test":

Note: The value does not have to be a whole word!

Example

$(class$:test) { background: yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

FSCSS $(attribute*:value) Selector
The $(attribute*:value) selector is used to select elements whose attribute value contains a specified value.

The following example selects all elements with a class attribute value that contains "te":

Note: The value does not have to be a whole word!

Example

$(class*:te){ background: yellow; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Styling Forms
The attribute selectors can be useful for styling forms without class or ID:

Example

input$(type: text) { width: 150px; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: yellow; } input$(type: button){ width: 120px; margin-left: 35px; display: block; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
