Webkit Pseudo-Element Selectors (Shadow DOM Elements)

An ongoing project to catalogue all of these sneaky, hidden, bleeding edge selectors as I prepare my JSConf EU 2012 talk.

Everything is broken up by tag, but within each the selectors aren't particularly ordered.

I have not tested/verified all of these. Have I missed some or got it wrong? Let me know. - A

A friendly reminder that you may need to set this property on your target/selected element to get the styling results you want:

-webkit-appearance:none;

Android's Chrome shows a play button on a

Is there a pseudo-selector for this element?

Viewing this page on an Android device will reproduce this play button - http://pastie.org/6389445

fyi I documented all the form related pseudo-elements on my blog: http://tjvantoll.com/2013/04/15/list-of-pseudo-elements-to-style-form-controls/. Someone else should tackle the audio / video ones :)

The overlay play button which is not listed in the above lists is:

video::-webkit-media-controls-overlay-play-button

This is a very important style.

Anyone know why Chrome (not sure about other browsers) went from ::placeholder visibility: hidden to display: none !important? Not cool.

Please add
video::-webkit-media-controls-panel-container
I spent several hours looking for how to hide the gray line when video is paused and in the end I just guessed it :)

for iOS 10 safari

If you just use video::-webkit-media-controls-panel

You will have a empty gray line on the bottom of video.

use video::-webkit-media-controls-panel-container { display: none } to get rid of it completely.

For iOS 10 UIWebView, any of these selectors above could be used to dismiss the big center "Play" button (with display: none style).
For iOS 9 UIWebView and for even iOS 10 standalone Safari (not in-app), on the other hand, I confirmed that video::-webkit-media-controls selector can be used to set display: none style.
Anyone have some idea how I'm going wrong?

There is setting in chrome developer tools: "Show user agent shadow DOM". Put it on and then you can see all hidden pseudo elements.

-webkit-media-controls-play-button seems to be gone now in Chrome and only that GIANT overlay play button. Not cool. This breaks many projects of ours.

There is new pseudo element on ios browsers:

::-webkit-media-controls-start-playback-button

is this the grey button that appears as overlay play button only in the beginning of the video? and is it still relevant?

Has anybody found a way to remove the Airplay button?
