Do you know how to apply CSS based on some conditions?
Did you know HTML elements can adopt CSS based on conditions?
The answer is YES. Using CSS pseudo-classes.
CSS pseudo-class functions free us from the nested CSS rules. As a result, styles are precise and easy to understand.
It takes a selector list as an argument and selects any element that can be selected by one of the selectors in that list.
Imagine you want to apply styles based on a few conditions. But you don’t want to integrate javascript or jquery into your webpage. That’s where you can use CSS pseudo-classes.
In this post, you will learn 6 CSS classes.
- :where()
- :has()
- :is()
- :not()
- :dir()
- :lang()
It’s always possible to design pages without advanced selectors. But if you want to make styles pretty and precise, it might be proved a savior!
