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.
he example below styles all elements with a title attribute:
Example:
[title]
{
color:blue;
}
The example below styles all elements with title="Hiscript":
Example:
[title=Hiscript]
{
border:5px solid green;
}
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:
The attribute selectors are particularly 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;
}
