Attribute selectors select an element using the presence of a given attribute or attribute value.
[attr]
[attr=value]
[attr~=value]
[attr|=value]
[attr^=value]
[attr$=value]
[attr*=value]
[attr operator value i]
i
(or I
) before the closing bracket causes the value to be compared case-insensitively (for characters within the ASCII range)./* All spans with a "lang" attribute are bold */ span[lang] {font-weight:bold;} /* All spans in Portuguese are green */ span[lang="pt"] {color:green;} /* All spans in US English are blue */ span[lang~="en-us"] {color: blue;} /* Any span in Chinese is red, matches simplified (zh-CN) or traditional (zh-TW) */ span[lang|="zh"] {color: red;} /* All internal links have a gold background */ a[href^="#"] {background-color: gold;} /* All spans whose first declared class begins with "main" have a yellow background */ /* Span with the class="banner main" would not be affected. */ span[class^="main"] {background-color: yellow;} /* All links to urls ending in ".cn" are red */ a[href$=".cn"] {color: red;} /* All links with "example" in the url have a grey background */ a[href*="example"] {background-color: #CCCCCC;} /* All email inputs have a blue border */ /* This matches any capitalization of "email", e.g. "email", "EMAIL", "eMaIL", etc. */ input[type="email" i] {border-color: blue;}
<div class="hello-example"> <a href="http://example.com">English:</a> <span lang="en-us en-gb en-au en-nz">Hello World!</span> </div> <div class="hello-example"> <a href="#portuguese">Portuguese:</a> <span lang="pt">Olá Mundo!</span> </div> <div class="hello-example"> <a href="http://example.cn">Chinese (Simplified):</a> <span lang="zh-CN">世界您好!</span> </div> <div class="hello-example"> <a href="http://example.cn">Chinese (Traditional):</a> <span lang="zh-TW">世界您好!</span> </div>
