Server-side Element Queries on Static HTML
Raw
input-css.css
/*
These element queries have nothing to do with width, but extend the power of CSS selector - as long as they don't need to be used with interactive content. This means they aren't suitable for:
- interaction-based pseudo-classes like :hover, :focus, :active, etc
- queries on interactive content, like inside form elements
- dynamic HTML that will in structure after the page loads
- scroll position or dimensions
Where it might be useful:
- select by text content length
- select by regex search of text content
- select by string search of text content
- select direct parents of a CSS selector
- select ancestors of a CSS selector
- select previous sibling of a CSS selector
- select first instance of CSS selector in DOM
