CSS Selectors - beyond the very basics

Early on, we learn about element, class, and ID selectors, but there are so many others, so in this video I’m taking a look at the ones just beyond those basics ones, with a dive into descendant selectors, a few pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, and a few other useful selectors 🙂

Attribute selectors on ID are very useful, as they lower the specificity: [id="mainmenu"] vs #mainmenu, 0,1,0 vs 1,0,0 The former (0,1,0) is easy to overwrite with another single class (0,1,0) OR pseudo selector (0,1,0) and keeps you from fighting a specificity war if an id (1,0,0) is involved. Attribute selectors also provide means to use only parts of an attribute's value. If you're a CSS novice: Use IDs as Javascript hooks only (or use querySelector) but avoid them for general purpose styling unless you're very aware of the consequences (good and bad ones.) this has on the cascade or even want to "make a point" in your style sheet and force *some* style properties to be harder to overwrite (like many CSS Frameworks do). Whenever you find yourself using an ID selector because they're convenient or to apply simple *cosmetic styles* (colours, font) or change other inheriting properties, rethink your choice! Rather use the [id] attribute selector variance. If that's not possible find some other unique node type and attribute combinations to "identify" the element rather than slapping an id attribute on it in your html. The "nth" pseudo classes are very powerful and you can always combine them with other attribute selectors to narrow things down while keeping a sane level (0,n,m) on the selector's specificity value: element name, class name, its position within its parent or a set, the data and ARIA attributes often produce an equally unique *identity* without raising the specificity above 0,2,n or 0,3,n Happy coding.

:marker definitely needs more properties. I use it but often the bullet is positionally a bit off depending on the font and it’s tricky to line it up.

I wish there was something like an "nth-of-selector", or "nth-of-match", where we could target elements by specific selectors, rather than just the element type. Imagine the possibilities!

You could have mentioned of the other comparison operators for attributes [attr^=value] [attr|=value] [attr$=value] , maybe elude to the nuanced of [attr~=value] vs [attr*=value]

What if I want to style an element on a specific page; say I want to style my "header" on the "index" page, but want to leave the others alone. Can I do that using one CSS document?

@XMattingly Жыл бұрын

Fun fact: the attribute selector is a way to override !important, if you inherited someone’s convoluted nightmare code and you don’t have time/resources to rewrite their entire style sheet.

@mirimjam Жыл бұрын

Attribute selectors are also very interesting for JS purposes with document.querySelector(). You could for example use it to select all insecure links on a page with a selector like 'a[href=""]' .I think the different options would make for an interesting seperate video.
