STYLE HTML ELEMENTS WITH SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES

Style HTML Elements With Specific Attributes

It is possible to style HTML elements that have specific attributes, not just class and id.

Note: IE7 and IE8 support 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:

Example

[title]
{
color:blue;
}

Attribute and Value Selector

The example below styles all elements with title="W3Schools":

Example

[title=W3Schools]
{
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:

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; }
