69

70 <p><em>Selectors</em> are patterns that match against elements in a

71 tree. Selectors have been optimized for use with HTML and XML, and

72 are designed to be usable in performance-critical code.</p>

73

74 <p><acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym> (Cascading

75 Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering of <acronym

76 title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</acronym> and <acronym

77 title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> documents on

78 screen, on paper, in speech, etc. CSS uses Selectors for binding

79 style properties to elements in the document. This document

80 describes extensions to the selectors defined in CSS level 2. These

81 extended selectors will be used by CSS level 3.

82

83 <p>Selectors define the following function:</p>

84

85 <pre>expression ∗ element → boolean</pre>

86

87 <p>That is, given an element and a selector, this specification

88 defines whether that element matches the selector.</p>

89

90 <p>These expressions can also be used, for instance, to select a set

91 of elements, or a single element from a set of elements, by

92 evaluating the expression across all the elements in a

93 subtree. <acronym title="Simple Tree Transformation

94 Sheets">STTS</acronym> (Simple Tree Transformation Sheets), a

95 language for transforming XML trees, uses this mechanism. <a href="#refsSTTS"> [STTS]</a></p>

97 <h2><a name=status></a>Status of this document</h2>

98

99 <p><em>This section describes the status of this document at the

100 time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this

101 document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision

102 of this technical report can be found in the <a

103 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/">W3C technical reports index at

104 http://www.w3.org/TR/.</a></em></p>

105

106 <p>This document describes the selectors that already exist in <a

107 href="#refsCSS1"><abbr title="CSS level 1">CSS1</abbr></a> and <a

108 href="#refsCSS21"><abbr title="CSS level 2">CSS2</abbr></a>, and

109 also proposes new selectors for <abbr title="CSS level

110 3">CSS3</abbr> and other languages that may need them.</p>

111

112 <p>The CSS Working Group doesn't expect that all implementations of

113 CSS3 will have to implement all selectors. Instead, there will

114 probably be a small number of variants of CSS3, called profiles. For

115 example, it may be that only a profile for interactive user agents

116 will include all of the selectors.</p>

117

118 <p>This specification is a last call working draft for the the <a

119 href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members">CSS Working Group</a>

120 (<a href="/Style/">Style Activity</a>). This

121 document is a revision of the <a

122 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/">Candidate

123 Recommendation dated 2001 November 13</a>, and has incorporated

124 implementation feedback received in the past few years. It is

125 expected that this last call will proceed straight to Proposed

126 Recommendation stage since it is believed that interoperability will

127 be demonstrable.</p>

128

129 <p>All persons are encouraged to review and implement this

130 specification and return comments to the (<a

131 href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/">archived</a>)

132 public mailing list <a

135 Members can also send comments directly to the CSS Working

136 Group.

137 The deadline for comments is 14 January 2006.</p>

138

139 <p>This is still a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or

140 obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to

141 cite a W3C Working Draft as other than "work in progress".

242

243 <h3><a name=dependencies></a>1.1. Dependencies</h3>

244

245 <p>Some features of this specification are specific to CSS, or have

246 particular limitations or rules specific to CSS. In this

247 specification, these have been described in terms of CSS2.1. <a

248 href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a></p>

249

250 <h3><a name=terminology></a>1.2. Terminology</h3>

251

252 <p>All of the text of this specification is normative except

253 examples, notes, and sections explicitly marked as

254 non-normative.</p>

255

256 <h3><a name=changesFromCSS2></a>1.3. Changes from CSS2</h3>

257

258 <p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>

259

260 <p>The main differences between the selectors in CSS2 and those in

261 Selectors are:

262

263 <ul>

264

265 <li>the list of basic definitions (selector, group of selectors,

266 simple selector, etc.) has been changed; in particular, what was

267 referred to in CSS2 as a simple selector is now called a sequence

268 of simple selectors, and the term "simple selector" is now used for

269 the components of this sequence</li>

270

271 <li>an optional namespace component is now allowed in type element

272 selectors, the universal selector and attribute selectors</li>

273

274 <li>a <a href="#general-sibling-combinators">new combinator</a> has been intr oduced</li>

275

276 <li>new simple selectors including substring matching attribute

277 selectors, and new pseudo-classes</li>

278

279 <li>new pseudo-elements, and introduction of the "::" convention

280 for pseudo-elements</li>

281

282 <li>the grammar has been rewritten</li>

283

284 <li>profiles to be added to specifications integrating Selectors

285 and defining the set of selectors which is actually supported by

286 each specification</li>

287

288 <li>Selectors are now a CSS3 Module and an independent

289 specification; other specifications can now refer to this document

290 independently of CSS</li>

291

292 <li>the specification now has its own test suite</li>

293

294 </ul>

295

296 <h2><a name=selectors></a>2. Selectors</h2>

297

298 <p><em>This section is non-normative, as it merely summarizes the

299 following sections.</em></p>

300

301 <p>A Selector represents a structure. This structure can be used as a

302 condition (e.g. in a CSS rule) that determines which elements a

303 selector matches in the document tree, or as a flat description of the

304 HTML or XML fragment corresponding to that structure.</p>

305

306 <p>Selectors may range from simple element names to rich contextual

307 representations.</p>

308

309 <p>The following table summarizes the Selector syntax:</p>

643 sign" (U+003E, <code>></code>), "plus sign" (U+002B,

644 <code>+</code>) and "tilde" (U+007E, <code>~</code>). White

645 space may appear between a combinator and the simple selectors around

651

652 <p>The elements of a document tree that are represented by a selector

653 are the <dfn><a name=subject></a>subjects of the selector</dfn>. A

654 selector consisting of a single sequence of simple selectors

655 represents any element satisfying its requirements. Prepending another

656 sequence of simple selectors and a combinator to a sequence imposes

657 additional matching constraints, so the subjects of a selector are

658 always a subset of the elements represented by the last sequence of

659 simple selectors.</p>

692

693 <p>A <dfn>type selector</dfn> is the name of a document language

694 element type. A type selector represents an instance of the element

695 type in the document tree.</p>

696

697 <div class="example">

698 <p>Example:</p>

703

704 <h4><a name=typenmsp>6.1.1. Type selectors and namespaces</a></h4>

705

706 <p>Type selectors allow an optional namespace (<a

708 that has been previously declared may be prepended to the element name

709 separated by the namespace separator "vertical bar"

710 (U+007C, <code>\|</code>).</p>

711

712 <p>The namespace component may be left empty to indicate that the

713 selector is only to represent elements with no declared namespace.</p>

714

715 <p>An asterisk may be used for the namespace prefix, indicating that

716 the selector represents elements in any namespace (including elements

717 with no namespace).</p>

718

719 <p>Element type selectors that have no namespace component (no

720 namespace separator), represent elements without regard to the

721 element's namespace (equivalent to "<code>*\|</code>") unless a default

722 namespace has been declared. If a default namespace has been declared,

723 the selector will represent only elements in the default

724 namespace.</p>

725

726 <p>A type selector containing a namespace prefix that has not been

727 previously declared is an <a href="#Conformance">invalid</a> selector.

831

832 <h3><a name=attribute-selectors>6.3. Attribute selectors</a></h3>

833

834 <p>Selectors allow the representation of an element's attributes. When

835 a selector is used as an expression to match against an element,

836 attribute selectors must be considered to match an element if that

837 element has an attribute that matches the attribute represented by the

838 attribute selector.</p>

839

840 <h4><a name=attribute-representation>6.3.1. Attribute presence and values

841 selectors</a></h4>

842

843 <p>CSS2 introduced four attribute selectors:</p>

844

845 <dl>

846 <dt><code>[att]</code>

847 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute, whatever the va lue of

848 the attribute.</dd>

849 <dt><code>[att=val]</code></dt>

850 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value is e xactly

851 "val".</dd>

852 <dt><code>[att~=val]</code></dt>

853 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value is a <a

854 href="#whitespace">whitespace</a>-separated list of words, one of

855 which is exactly "val". If "val" contains whitespace, it will never

856 represent anything (since the words are <em>separated</em> by

857 spaces).</dd>

858 <dt><code>[att\|=val]</code>

859 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute, its value eithe r

860 being exactly "val" or beginning with "val" immediately followed by

861 "-" (U+002D). This is primarily intended to allow language subcode

862 matches (e.g., the <code>hreflang</code> attribute on the

863 <code>link</code> element in HTML) as described in RFC 3066 (<a

864 href="#refsRFC3066">[RFC3066]</a>). For <code>lang</code> (or

865 <code>xml:lang</code>) language subcode matching, please see <a

866 href="#lang-pseudo">the <code>:lang</code> pseudo-class</a>.</dd>

867 </dl>

868

869 <p>Attribute values must be identifiers or strings. The

870 case-sensitivity of attribute names and values in selectors depends on

871 the document language.</p>

872

873 <div class="example">

874

875 <p>Examples:</p>

876

877 <p>The following attribute selector represents an <code>h1</code>

878 element that carries the <code>title</code> attribute, whatever its

879 value:</p>

880

881 <pre>h1[title]</pre>

882

883 <p>In the following example, the selector represents a

884 <code>span</code> element whose <code>class</code> attribute has

885 exactly the value "example":</p>

886

887 <pre>span[class="example"]</pre>

888

889 <p>Multiple attribute selectors can be used to represent several

890 attributes of an element, or several conditions on the same

891 attribute. Here, the selector represents a <code>span</code> element

892 whose <code>hello</code> attribute has exactly the value "Cleveland"

893 and whose <code>goodbye</code> attribute has exactly the value

894 "Columbus":</p>

895

896 <pre>span[hello="Cleveland"][goodbye="Columbus"]</pre>

897

898 <p>The following selectors illustrate the differences between "="

899 and "~=". The first selector will represent, for example, the value

900 "copyright copyleft copyeditor" on a <code>rel</code> attribute. The

901 second selector will only represent an <code>a</code> element with

902 an <code>href</code> attribute having the exact value

903 "http://www.w3.org/".</p>

904

905 <pre>a[rel~="copyright"]

906 a[href="http://www.w3.org/"]</pre>

907

908 <p>The following selector represents a <code>link</code> element

909 whose <code>hreflang</code> attribute is exactly "fr".</p>

910

911 <pre>link[hreflang=fr]</pre>

912

913 <p>The following selector represents a <code>link</code> element for

914 which the values of the <code>hreflang</code> attribute begins with

915 "en", including "en", "en-US", and "en-cockney":</p>

916

917 <pre>link[hreflang\|="en"]</pre>

918

919 <p>Similarly, the following selectors represents a

920 <code>DIALOGUE</code> element whenever it has one of two different

921 values for an attribute <code>character</code>:</p>

922

923 <pre>DIALOGUE[character=romeo]

924 DIALOGUE[character=juliet]</pre>

925

926 </div>

927

928 <h4><a name=attribute-substrings></a>6.3.2. Substring matching attribute

929 selectors</h4>

930

931 <p>Three additional attribute selectors are provided for matching

932 substrings in the value of an attribute:</p>

933

934 <dl>

935 <dt><code>[att^=val]</code></dt>

936 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value begi ns

937 with the prefix "val".</dd>

938 <dt><code>[att$=val]</code>

939 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value ends with

940 the suffix "val".</dd>

941 <dt><code>[att*=val]</code>

942 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value cont ains

943 at least one instance of the substring "val".</dd>

944 </dl>

945

946 <p>Attribute values must be identifiers or strings. The

947 case-sensitivity of attribute names in selectors depends on the

948 document language.</p>

949

950 <div class="example">

951 <p>Examples:</p>

952 <p>The following selector represents an HTML <code>object</code>, referencing a n

953 image:</p>

954 <pre>object[type^="image/"]</pre>

955 <p>The following selector represents an HTML anchor <code>a</code> with an

956 <code>href</code> attribute whose value ends with ".html".</p>

957 <pre>a[href$=".html"]</pre>

958 <p>The following selector represents an HTML paragraph with a <code>title</code >

959 attribute whose value contains the substring "hello"</p>

960 <pre>p[title*="hello"]</pre>

961 </div>

962

963 <h4><a name=attrnmsp>6.3.3. Attribute selectors and namespaces</a></h4>

964

965 <p>Attribute selectors allow an optional namespace component to the

966 attribute name. A namespace prefix that has been previously declared

967 may be prepended to the attribute name separated by the namespace

968 separator "vertical bar" (<code>\|</code>). In keeping with

969 the Namespaces in the XML recommendation, default namespaces do not

970 apply to attributes, therefore attribute selectors without a namespace

971 component apply only to attributes that have no declared namespace

972 (equivalent to "<code>\|attr</code>"). An asterisk may be used for the

973 namespace prefix indicating that the selector is to match all

974 attribute names without regard to the attribute's namespace.

975

976 <p>An attribute selector with an attribute name containing a namespace

977 prefix that has not been previously declared is an <a

978 href="#Conformance">invalid</a> selector. The mechanism for declaring

979 a namespace prefix is left up to the language implementing Selectors.

980 In CSS, such a mechanism is defined in the General Syntax module.

1004 <h4><a name=def-values>6.3.4. Default attribute values in DTDs</a></h4>

1005

1006 <p>Attribute selectors represent explicitly set attribute values in

1007 the document tree. Default attribute values may be defined in a DTD or

1008 elsewhere, but cannot always be selected by attribute

1009 selectors. Selectors should be designed so that they work even if the

1010 default values are not included in the document tree.</p>

1011

1012 <p>More precisely, a UA is <em>not</em> required to read an "external

1013 subset" of the DTD but <em>is</em> required to look for default

1014 attribute values in the document's "internal subset." (See <a

1015 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a> for definitions of these subsets.)</p>

1016

1017 <p>A UA that recognizes an XML namespace <a

1018 href="#refsXMLNAMES">[XMLNAMES]</a> is not required to use its

1019 knowledge of that namespace to treat default attribute values as if

1020 they were present in the document. (For example, an XHTML UA is not

1021 required to use its built-in knowledge of the XHTML DTD.)</p>

1022

1023 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Typically, implementations

1024 choose to ignore external subsets.</p>

1025

1026 <div class="example">

1027 <p>Example:</p>

1028

1029 <p>Consider an element EXAMPLE with an attribute "notation" that has a

1030 default value of "decimal". The DTD fragment might be</p>

1031

1032 <pre class="dtd-example"><!ATTLIST EXAMPLE notation (decimal,octal) "decimal" ></pre>

1033

1034 <p>If the style sheet contains the rules</p>

1035

1036 <pre>EXAMPLE[notation=decimal] { /... default property settings .../ }

1037 EXAMPLE[notation=octal] { /... other settings.../ }</pre>

1038

1039 <p>the first rule will not match elements whose "notation" attribute

1040 is set by default, i.e. not set explicitly. To catch all cases, the

1041 attribute selector for the default value must be dropped:</p>

1042

1043 <pre>EXAMPLE { /... default property settings .../ }

1044 EXAMPLE[notation=octal] { /... other settings.../ }</pre>

1045

1046 <p>Here, because the selector <code>EXAMPLE[notation=octal]</code> is

1047 more specific than the tag

1048 selector alone, the style declarations in the second rule will override

1049 those in the first for elements that have a "notation" attribute value

1050 of "octal". Care has to be taken that all property declarations that

1051 are to apply only to the default case are overridden in the non-default

1052 cases' style rules.</p>

1056 <h3><a name=class-html>6.4. Class selectors</a></h3>

1057

1058 <p>Working with HTML, authors may use the period (U+002E,

1059 <code>.</code>) notation as an alternative to the <code>~=</code>

1060 notation when representing the <code>class</code> attribute. Thus, for

1061 HTML, <code>div.value</code> and <code>div[class~=value]</code> have

1062 the same meaning. The attribute value must immediately follow the

1063 "period" (<code>.</code>).</p>

1064

1065 <p>UAs may apply selectors using the period (.) notation in XML

1066 documents if the UA has namespace-specific knowledge that allows it to

1067 determine which attribute is the "class" attribute for the

1068 respective namespace. One such example of namespace-specific knowledge

1069 is the prose in the specification for a particular namespace (e.g. SVG

1070 1.0 <a href="#refsSVG">[SVG]</a> describes the <a

1076

1077 <div class="example">

1078 <p>CSS examples:</p>

1079

1080 <p>We can assign style information to all elements with

1081 <code>class~="pastoral"</code> as follows:</p>

1082

1083 <pre>.pastoral { color: green } / all elements with class~=pastoral */</pre >

1084

1085 <p>or just</p>

1086

1087 <pre>.pastoral { color: green } /* all elements with class~=pastoral */</pre>

1088

1089 <p>The following assigns style only to H1 elements with

1090 <code>class~="pastoral"</code>:</p>

1091

1092 <pre>H1.pastoral { color: green } /* H1 elements with class~=pastoral */</pre >

1098 <H1 class="pastoral">Very green</H1></pre>

1099

1100 </div>

1101

1102 <p>To represent a subset of "class" values, each value must be preceded

1103 by a ".", in any order.</P>

1104

1105 <div class="example">

1106

1107 <p>CSS example:</p>

1108

1109 <p>The following rule matches any P element whose "class" attribute

1110 has been assigned a list of <a

1111 href="#whitespace">whitespace</a>-separated values that includes

1112 "pastoral" and "marine":</p>

1113

1116 <p>This rule matches when <code>class="pastoral blue aqua

1117 marine"</code> but does not match for <code>class="pastoral

1118 blue"</code>.</p>

1119

1120 </div>

1121

1122 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Because CSS gives considerable

1123 power to the "class" attribute, authors could conceivably design their

1124 own "document language" based on elements with almost no associated

1125 presentation (such as DIV and SPAN in HTML) and assigning style

1126 information through the "class" attribute. Authors should avoid this

1127 practice since the structural elements of a document language often

1128 have recognized and accepted meanings and author-defined classes may

1129 not.</p>

1130

1131 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If an element has multiple

1132 class attributes, their values must be concatenated with spaces

1133 between the values before searching for the class. As of this time the

1134 working group is not aware of any manner in which this situation can

1135 be reached, however, so this behavior is explicitly non-normative in

1136 this specification.</p>

1137

1138 <h3><a name=id-selectors>6.5. ID selectors</a></h3>

1139

1140 <p>Document languages may contain attributes that are declared to be

1141 of type ID. What makes attributes of type ID special is that no two

1142 such attributes can have the same value in a document, regardless of

1143 the type of the elements that carry them; whatever the document

1144 language, an ID typed attribute can be used to uniquely identify its

1145 element. In HTML all ID attributes are named "id"; XML applications

1146 may name ID attributes differently, but the same restriction

1147 applies.</p>

1148

1149 <p>An ID-typed attribute of a document language allows authors to

1150 assign an identifier to one element instance in the document tree. W3C

1151 ID selectors represent an element instance based on its identifier. An

1152 ID selector contains a "number sign" (U+0023,

1153 <code>#</code>) immediately followed by the ID value, which must be an

1154 identifier.</p>

1155

1156 <p>Selectors does not specify how a UA knows the ID-typed attribute of

1157 an element. The UA may, e.g., read a document's DTD, have the

1158 information hard-coded or ask the user.

1159

1160 <div class="example">

1161 <p>Examples:</p>

1162 <p>The following ID selector represents an <code>h1</code> element

1163 whose ID-typed attribute has the value "chapter1":</p>

1164 <pre>h1#chapter1</pre>

1165 <p>The following ID selector represents any element whose ID-typed

1166 attribute has the value "chapter1":</p>

1167 <pre>#chapter1</pre>

1168 <p>The following selector represents any element whose ID-typed

1169 attribute has the value "z98y".</p>

1170 <pre>*#z98y</pre>

1171 </div>

1172

1173 <p class="note"><strong>Note.</strong> In XML 1.0 <a

1174 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a>, the information about which attribute

1175 contains an element's IDs is contained in a DTD or a schema. When

1176 parsing XML, UAs do not always read the DTD, and thus may not know

1177 what the ID of an element is (though a UA may have namespace-specific

1178 knowledge that allows it to determine which attribute is the ID

1179 attribute for that namespace). If a style sheet designer knows or

1180 suspects that a UA may not know what the ID of an element is, he

1181 should use normal attribute selectors instead:

1182 <code>[name=p371]</code> instead of <code>#p371</code>. Elements in

1183 XML 1.0 documents without a DTD do not have IDs at all.</p>

1184

1185 <p>If an element has multiple ID attributes, all of them must be

1186 treated as IDs for that element for the purposes of the ID

1187 selector. Such a situation could be reached using mixtures of xml:id,

1188 DOM3 Core, XML DTDs, and namespace-specific knowledge.</p>

1189

1190 <h3><a name=pseudo-classes>6.6. Pseudo-classes</a></h3>

1191

1192 <p>The pseudo-class concept is introduced to permit selection based on

1193 information that lies outside of the document tree or that cannot be

1194 expressed using the other simple selectors.</p>

1195

1196 <p>A pseudo-class always consists of a "colon"

1197 (<code>:</code>) followed by the name of the pseudo-class and

1198 optionally by a value between parentheses.</p>

1199

1200 <p>Pseudo-classes are allowed in all sequences of simple selectors

1201 contained in a selector. Pseudo-classes are allowed anywhere in

1202 sequences of simple selectors, after the leading type selector or

1203 universal selector (possibly omitted). Pseudo-class names are

1204 case-insensitive. Some pseudo-classes are mutually exclusive, while

1205 others can be applied simultaneously to the same

1206 element. Pseudo-classes may be dynamic, in the sense that an element

1207 may acquire or lose a pseudo-class while a user interacts with the

1208 document.</p>

1209

1210

1211 <h4><a name=dynamic-pseudos>6.6.1. Dynamic pseudo-classes</a></h4>

1212

1213 <p>Dynamic pseudo-classes classify elements on characteristics other

1214 than their name, attributes, or content, in principle characteristics

1215 that cannot be deduced from the document tree.</p>

1216

1217 <p>Dynamic pseudo-classes do not appear in the document source or

1218 document tree.</p>

1219

1220

1221 <h5>The <a name=link>link pseudo-classes: :link and :visited</a></h5>

1222

1223 <p>User agents commonly display unvisited links differently from

1224 previously visited ones. Selectors

1225 provides the pseudo-classes <code>:link</code> and

1226 <code>:visited</code> to distinguish them:</p>

1227

1228 <ul>

1229 <li>The <code>:link</code> pseudo-class applies to links that have

1230 not yet been visited.</li>

1231 <li>The <code>:visited</code> pseudo-class applies once the link has

1232 been visited by the user. </li>

1233 </ul>

1234

1235 <p>After some amount of time, user agents may choose to return a

1236 visited link to the (unvisited) ':link' state.</p>

1237

1238 <p>The two states are mutually exclusive.</p>

1239

1240 <div class="example">

1241

1242 <p>Example:</p>

1243

1244 <p>The following selector represents links carrying class

1245 <code>external</code> and already visited:</p>

1246

1247 <pre>a.external:visited</pre>

1248

1249 </div>

1250

1251 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> It is possible for style sheet

1252 authors to abuse the :link and :visited pseudo-classes to determine

1253 which sites a user has visited without the user's consent.

1254

1255 <p>UAs may therefore treat all links as unvisited links, or implement

1256 other measures to preserve the user's privacy while rendering visited

1257 and unvisited links differently.</p>

1258

1259 <h5>The <a name=useraction-pseudos>user action pseudo-classes

1260 :hover, :active, and :focus</a></h5>

1261

1262 <p>Interactive user agents sometimes change the rendering in response

1263 to user actions. Selectors provides

1264 three pseudo-classes for the selection of an element the user is

1265 acting on.</p>

1266

1267 <ul>

1268

1269 <li>The <code>:hover</code> pseudo-class applies while the user

1270 designates an element with a pointing device, but does not activate

1271 it. For example, a visual user agent could apply this pseudo-class

1272 when the cursor (mouse pointer) hovers over a box generated by the

1273 element. User agents not that do not support <a

1274 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#interactive-media-group">intera ctive

1275 media</a> do not have to support this pseudo-class. Some conforming

1276 user agents that support <a

1277 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#interactive-media-group">intera ctive

1278 media</a> may not be able to support this pseudo-class (e.g., a pen

1279 device that does not detect hovering).</li>

1280

1281 <li>The <code>:active</code> pseudo-class applies while an element

1282 is being activated by the user. For example, between the times the

1283 user presses the mouse button and releases it.</li>

1284

1285 <li>The <code>:focus</code> pseudo-class applies while an element

1286 has the focus (accepts keyboard or mouse events, or other forms of

1287 input). </li>

1288

1289 </ul>

1290

1291 <p>There may be document language or implementation specific limits on

1292 which elements can become <code>:active</code> or acquire

1293 <code>:focus</code>.</p>

1294

1295 <p>These pseudo-classes are not mutually exclusive. An element may

1296 match several pseudo-classes at the same time.</p>

1297

1298 <p>Selectors doesn't define if the parent of an element that is

1299 ':active' or ':hover' is also in that state.</p>

1300

1301 <div class="example">

1302 <p>Examples:</p>

1303 <pre>a:link /* unvisited links */

1304 a:visited /* visited links */

1305 a:hover /* user hovers */

1306 a:active /* active links */</pre>

1307 <p>An example of combining dynamic pseudo-classes:</p>

1308 <pre>a:focus

1309 a:focus:hover</pre>

1310 <p>The last selector matches <code>a</code> elements that are in

1311 the pseudo-class :focus and in the pseudo-class :hover.</p>

1312 </div>

1313

1314 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> An element can be both ':visited'

1315 and ':active' (or ':link' and ':active').</p>

1316

1317 <h4><a name=target-pseudo>6.6.2. The target pseudo-class :target</a></h4>

1318

1319 <p>Some URIs refer to a location within a resource. This kind of URI

1320 ends with a "number sign" (#) followed by an anchor

1321 identifier (called the fragment identifier).</p>

1322

1323 <p>URIs with fragment identifiers link to a certain element within the

1324 document, known as the target element. For instance, here is a URI

1325 pointing to an anchor named <code>section_2</code> in an HTML

1326 document:</p>

1327

1328 <pre>http://example.com/html/top.html#section_2</pre>

1329

1330 <p>A target element can be represented by the <code>:target</code>

1331 pseudo-class. If the document's URI has no fragment identifier, then

1332 the document has no target element.</p>

1333

1334 <div class="example">

1335 <p>Example:</p>

1336 <pre>p.note:target</pre>

1337 <p>This selector represents a <code>p</code> element of class

1338 <code>note</code> that is the target element of the referring

1339 URI.</p>

1340 </div>

1341

1342 <div class="example">

1343 <p>CSS example:</p>

1344 <p>Here, the <code>:target</code> pseudo-class is used to make the

1345 target element red and place an image before it, if there is one:</p>

1346 <pre>*:target { color : red }

1347 *:target::before { content : url(target.png) }</pre>

1348 </div>

1349

1350 <h4><a name=lang-pseudo>6.6.3. The language pseudo-class :lang</a></h4>

1351

1352 <p>If the document language specifies how the human language of an

1353 element is determined, it is possible to write selectors that

1354 represent an element based on its language. For example, in HTML <a

1355 href="#refsHTML4">[HTML4]</a>, the language is determined by a

1356 combination of the <code>lang</code> attribute, the <code>meta</code>

1357 element, and possibly by information from the protocol (such as HTTP

1358 headers). XML uses an attribute called <code>xml:lang</code>, and

1359 there may be other document language-specific methods for determining

1360 the language.</p>

1361

1362 <p>The pseudo-class <code>:lang(C)</code> represents an element that

1363 is in language C. Whether an element is represented by a

1364 <code>:lang()</code> selector is based solely on the identifier C

1365 being either equal to, or a hyphen-separated substring of, the

1366 element's language value, in the same way as if performed by the <a

1367 href="#attribute-representation">'\|='</a> operator in attribute

1368 selectors. The identifier C does not have to be a valid language

1369 name.</p>

1370

1371 <p>C must not be empty. (If it is, the selector is invalid.)</p>

1372

1373 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> It is recommended that

1374 documents and protocols indicate language using codes from RFC 3066 <a

1375 href="#refsRFC3066">[RFC3066]</a> or its successor, and by means of

1376 "xml:lang" attributes in the case of XML-based documents <a

1377 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a>. See <a

1381 <div class="example">

1382 <p>Examples:</p>

1383 <p>The two following selectors represent an HTML document that is in

1384 Belgian, French, or German. The two next selectors represent

1385 <code>q</code> quotations in an arbitrary element in Belgian, French,

1386 or German.</p>

1394

1395 <h5><a name=enableddisabled>The :enabled and :disabled pseudo-classes</a></h5>

1396

1397 <p>The <code>:enabled</code> pseudo-class allows authors to customize

1398 the look of user interface elements that are enabled &mdart; which the

1399 user can select or activate in some fashion (e.g. clicking on a button

1400 with a mouse). There is a need for such a pseudo-class because there

1401 is no way to programmatically specify the default appearance of say,

1402 an enabled <code>input</code> element without also specifying what it

1403 would look like when it was disabled.</p>

1404

1405 <p>Similar to <code>:enabled</code>, <code>:disabled</code> allows the

1406 author to specify precisely how a disabled or inactive user interface

1407 element should look.</p>

1408

1409 <p>Most elements will be neither enabled nor disabled. An element is

1410 enabled if the user can either activate it or transfer the focus to

1411 it. An element is disabled if it could be enabled, but the user cannot

1412 presently activate it or transfer focus to it.</p>

1413

1414

1415 <h5><a name=checked>The :checked pseudo-class</a></h5>

1416

1417 <p>Radio and checkbox elements can be toggled by the user. Some menu

1418 items are "checked" when the user selects them. When such elements are

1419 toggled "on" the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class applies. The

1420 <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class initially applies to such elements

1421 that have the HTML4 <code>selected</code> and <code>checked</code>

1422 attributes as described in <a

1423 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1">Section

1424 17.2.1 of HTML4</a>, but of course the user can toggle "off" such

1425 elements in which case the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class would no

1426 longer apply. While the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class is dynamic

1427 in nature, and is altered by user action, since it can also be based

1428 on the presence of the semantic HTML4 <code>selected</code> and

1429 <code>checked</code> attributes, it applies to all media.

1435

1436 <p>Radio and checkbox elements can be toggled by the user, but are

1437 sometimes in an indeterminate state, neither checked nor unchecked.

1438 This can be due to an element attribute, or DOM manipulation.</p>

1439

1440 <p>A future version of this specification may introduce an

1465 <h5><a name=root-pseudo>:root pseudo-class</a></h5>

1466

1467 <p>The <code>:root</code> pseudo-class represents an element that is

1468 the root of the document. In HTML 4, this is always the

1469 <code>HTML</code> element.

1470

1471

1472 <h5><a name=nth-child-pseudo>:nth-child() pseudo-class</a></h5>

1473

1474 <p>The

1475 <code>:nth-child(<var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>)</code>

1476 pseudo-class notation represents an element that has

1477 <var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>-1 siblings

1478 <strong>before</strong> it in the document tree, for a given positive

1479 integer or zero value of <code>n</code>, and has a parent element. In

1480 other words, this matches the <var>b</var>th child of an element after

1481 all the children have been split into groups of <var>a</var> elements

1482 each. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other

1483 row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color

1484 of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The <var>a</var> and

1485 <var>b</var> values must be zero, negative integers or positive

1486 integers. The index of the first child of an element is 1.

1487

1488 <p>In addition to this, <code>:nth-child()</code> can take

1489 '<code>odd</code>' and '<code>even</code>' as arguments instead.

1490 '<code>odd</code>' has the same signification as <code>2n+1</code>,

1491 and '<code>even</code>' has the same signification as <code>2n</code>.

1492

1493

1494 <div class="example">

1495 <p>Examples:</p>

1496 <pre>tr:nth-child(2n+1) /* represents every odd row of an HTML table */

1497 tr:nth-child(odd) /* same */

1498 tr:nth-child(2n) /* represents every even row of an HTML table */

1499 tr:nth-child(even) /* same */

1500

1501 /* Alternate paragraph colours in CSS */

1502 p:nth-child(4n+1) { color: navy; }

1503 p:nth-child(4n+2) { color: green; }

1504 p:nth-child(4n+3) { color: maroon; }

1505 p:nth-child(4n+4) { color: purple; }</pre>

1506 </div>

1507

1508 <p>When <var>a</var>=0, no repeating is used, so for example

1509 <code>:nth-child(0n+5)</code> matches only the fifth child. When

1510 <var>a</var>=0, the <var>a</var><code>n</code> part need not be

1511 included, so the syntax simplifies to

1512 <code>:nth-child(<var>b</var>)</code> and the last example simplifies

1513 to <code>:nth-child(5)</code>.

1514

1515 <div class="example">

1516 <p>Examples:</p>

1517 <pre>foo:nth-child(0n+1) /* represents an element foo, first child of its pare nt element */

1518 foo:nth-child(1) /* same */</pre>

1519 </div>

1520

1521 <p>When <var>a</var>=1, the number may be omitted from the rule.

1522

1523 <div class="example">

1524 <p>Examples:</p>

1525 <p>The following selectors are therefore equivalent:</p>

1527 bar:nth-child(n+0) /* same */

1528 bar:nth-child(n) /* same */

1529 bar /* same but lower specificity (0,0,1) */</pre>

1530 </div>

1531

1532 <p>If <var>b</var>=0, then every <var>a</var>th element is picked. In

1533 such a case, the <var>b</var> part may be omitted.

1534

1535 <div class="example">

1536 <p>Examples:</p>

1537 <pre>tr:nth-child(2n+0) /* represents every even row of an HTML table */

1539 </div>

1540

1541 <p>If both <var>a</var> and <var>b</var> are equal to zero, the

1542 pseudo-class represents no element in the document tree.</p>

1543

1544 <p>The value <var>a</var> can be negative, but only the positive

1545 values of <var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>, for

1546 <code>n</code>≥0, may represent an element in the document

1547 tree.</p>

1548

1568 <p>The <code>:nth-last-child(<var>a</var>n+<var>b</var>)</code>

1797

1798 <p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: the :not() pseudo allows

1799 useless selectors to be written. For instance <code>:not(\|)</code>,

1801 which is equivalent to <code>foo</code> but with a higher

1803

1804 <h3><a name=pseudo-elements>7. Pseudo-elements</a></h3>

1805

1806 <p>Pseudo-elements create abstractions about the document tree beyond

1807 those specified by the document language. For instance, document

1808 languages do not offer mechanisms to access the first letter or first

1809 line of an element's content. Pseudo-elements allow designers to refer

1810 to this otherwise inaccessible information. Pseudo-elements may also

1811 provide designers a way to refer to content that does not exist in the

1812 source document (e.g., the <code>::before</code> and

1813 <code>::after</code> pseudo-elements give access to generated

1814 content).</p>

1815

1816 <p>A pseudo-element is made of two colons (<code>::</code>) followed

1817 by the name of the pseudo-element.</p>

1818

1819 <p>This <code>::</code> notation is introduced by the current document

1820 in order to establish a discrimination between pseudo-classes and

1821 pseudo-elements. For compatibility with existing style sheets, user

1822 agents must also accept the previous one-colon notation for

1823 pseudo-elements introduced in CSS levels 1 and 2 (namely,

1824 <code>:first-line</code>, <code>:first-letter</code>,

1825 <code>:before</code> and <code>:after</code>). This compatibility is

1826 not allowed for the new pseudo-elements introduced in CSS level 3.</p>

1827

1828 <p>Only one pseudo-element may appear per selector, and if present it

1829 must appear after the sequence of simple selectors that represents the

1830 <a href="#subject">subjects</a> of the selector. <span class="note">A

1831 future version of this specification may allow multiple

1832 pesudo-elements per selector.</span></p>

1833

1834 <h4><a name=first-line>7.1. The ::first-line pseudo-element</a></h4>

1835

1836 <p>The <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element describes the contents

1837 of the first formatted line of an element.

1838

1839 <div class="example">

1840 <p>CSS example:</p>

1841 <pre>p::first-line { text-transform: uppercase }</pre>

1842 <p>The above rule means "change the letters of the first line of every

1843 paragraph to uppercase".</p>

1844 </div>

1845

1846 <p>The selector <code>p::first-line</code> does not match any real

1847 HTML element. It does match a pseudo-element that conforming user

1848 agents will insert at the beginning of every paragraph.</p>

1849

1850 <p>Note that the length of the first line depends on a number of

1851 factors, including the width of the page, the font size, etc. Thus,

1852 an ordinary HTML paragraph such as:</p>

1853

1854 <pre>

1855 <P>This is a somewhat long HTML

1856 paragraph that will be broken into several

1871 </pre>

1872

1873 <p>This paragraph might be "rewritten" by user agents to include the

1874 <em>fictional tag sequence</em> for <code>::first-line</code>. This

1875 fictional tag sequence helps to show how properties are inherited.</p>

1876

1877 <pre>

1878 <P><b><P::first-line></b> This is a somewhat long HTML

1879 paragraph that <b></P::first-line></b> will be broken into several

1882 will be treated as ordinary lines in the

1883 paragraph.</P>

1884 </pre>

1885

1886 <p>If a pseudo-element breaks up a real element, the desired effect

1887 can often be described by a fictional tag sequence that closes and

1888 then re-opens the element. Thus, if we mark up the previous paragraph

1889 with a <code>span</code> element:</p>

1890

1891 <pre>

1892 <P><b><SPAN class="test"></b> This is a somewhat long HTML

1893 paragraph that will be broken into several

1895 by a fictional tag sequence. The other lines

1896 will be treated as ordinary lines in the

1897 paragraph.</P>

1898 </pre>

1899

1900 <p>the user agent could simulate start and end tags for

1901 <code>span</code> when inserting the fictional tag sequence for

1902 <code>::first-line</code>.

1903

1904 <pre>

1905 <P><P::first-line><b><SPAN class="test"></b> This is a

1911 will be treated as ordinary lines in the

1913 </pre>

1914

1915 <p>In CSS, the <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element can only be

1916 attached to a block-level element, an inline-block, a table-caption,

1917 or a table-cell.</p>

1918

1919 <p><a name="first-formatted-line"></a>The "first formatted line" of an

1920 element may occur inside a

1921 block-level descendant in the same flow (i.e., a block-level

1922 descendant that is not positioned and not a float). E.g., the first

1923 line of the <code>div</code> in <code><DIV><P>This

1924 line...</P>&lt/DIV></code> is the first line of the <code>p</code> (assuming

1925 that both <code>p</code> and <code>div</code> are block-level).

1926

1927 <p>The first line of a table-cell or inline-block cannot be the first

1928 formatted line of an ancestor element. Thus, in <code><DIV><P

1929 STYLE="display: inline-block">Hello<BR>Goodbye</P>

1930 etcetera</DIV></code> the first formatted line of the

1932

1933 <p class="note">Note that the first line of the <code>p</code> in this

1938 <p>A UA should act as if the fictional start tags of the

1939 <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-elements were nested just inside the

1959

1960 <p>The <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element is similar to an

1961 inline-level element, but with certain restrictions. In CSS, the

1962 following properties apply to a <code>::first-line</code>

1963 pseudo-element: font properties, color property, background

1964 properties, 'word-spacing', 'letter-spacing', 'text-decoration',

1965 'vertical-align', 'text-transform', 'line-height'. UAs may apply other

1966 properties as well.</p>

1969 <h4><a name=first-letter>7.2. The ::first-letter pseudo-element</a></h4>

1970

1971 <p>The <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element represents the first

1972 letter of the first line of a block, if it is not preceded by any

1973 other content (such as images or inline tables) on its line. The

1974 ::first-letter pseudo-element may be used for "initial caps" and "drop

1975 caps", which are common typographical effects. This type of initial

1976 letter is similar to an inline-level element if its 'float' property

1977 is 'none'; otherwise, it is similar to a floated element.</p>

1978

1979 <p>In CSS, these are the properties that apply to <code>::first-letter</code>

1980 pseudo-elements: font properties, 'text-decoration', 'text-transform',

1981 'letter-spacing', 'word-spacing' (when appropriate), 'line-height',

1982 'float', 'vertical-align' (only if 'float' is 'none'), margin

1983 properties, padding properties, border properties, color property,

1984 background properties. UAs may apply other properties as well. To

1985 allow UAs to render a typographically correct drop cap or initial cap,

1986 the UA may choose a line-height, width and height based on the shape

1987 of the letter, unlike for normal elements.</p>

1988

1989 <div class="example">

1990 <p>Example:</p>

1991 <p>This example shows a possible rendering of an initial cap. Note

1992 that the 'line-height' that is inherited by the <code>::first-letter</code>

1993 pseudo-element is 1.1, but the UA in this example has computed the

1994 height of the first letter differently, so that it doesn't cause any

1995 unnecessary space between the first two lines. Also note that the

1996 fictional start tag of the first letter is inside the <span>span</span>, and thu s

1997 the font weight of the first letter is normal, not bold as the <span>span</span> :

2075 money."</p>

2076

2077 <p>In CSS, the <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element applies to

2078 block, list-item, table-cell, table-caption, and inline-block

2079 elements. <span class="note">A future version of this specification

2080 may allow this pesudo-element to apply to more element

2082

2083 <p>The <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element can be used with all

2084 such elements that contain text, or that have a descendant in the same

2085 flow that contains text. A UA should act as if the fictional start tag

2086 of the ::first-letter pseudo-element is just before the first text of

2087 the element, even if that first text is in a descendant.</p>

2088

2089 <div class="example">

2090 <p>Example:</p>

2091 <p>The fictional tag sequence for this HTMLfragment:

2092 <pre><div>

2093 <p>The first text.</pre>

2094 <p>is:

2095 <pre><div>

2096 <p><div::first-letter><p::first-letter>T</...></...>he first text .</pre>

2097 </div>

2098

2099 <p>The first letter of a table-cell or inline-block cannot be the

2100 first letter of an ancestor element. Thus, in <code><DIV><P

2101 STYLE="display: inline-block">Hello<BR>Goodbye</P>

2102 etcetera</DIV></code> the first letter of the <code>div</code> is not the

2103 letter "H". In fact, the <code>div</code> doesn't have a first letter.

2104

2105 <p>The first letter must occur on the <a

2106 href="#first-formatted-line">first formatted line.</a> For example, in

2107 this fragment: <code><p&gt<br>First...</code> the first line

2108 doesn't contain any letters and <code>::first-letter</code> doesn't

2109 match anything (assuming the default style for <code>br</code> in HTML

2110 4). In particular, it does not match the "F" of "First."

2111

2112 <p>In CSS, if an element is a list item ('display: list-item'), the

2113 <code>::first-letter</code> applies to the first letter in the

2114 principal box after the marker. UAs may ignore

2115 <code>::first-letter</code> on list items with 'list-style-position:

2116 inside'. If an element has <code>::before</code> or

2117 <code>::after</code> content, the <code>::first-letter</code> applies

2118 to the first letter of the element <em>including</em> that content.

2119

2120 <div class="example">

2121 <p>Example:</p>

2122 <p>After the rule 'p::before {content: "Note: "}', the selector

2123 'p::first-letter' matches the "N" of "Note".</p>

2124 </div>

2125

2126 <p>Some languages may have specific rules about how to treat certain

2127 letter combinations. In Dutch, for example, if the letter combination

2128 "ij" appears at the beginning of a word, both letters should be

2129 considered within the <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element.

2130

2131 <p>If the letters that would form the ::first-letter are not in the

2132 same element, such as "'T" in <code><p>'<em>T...</code>, the UA

2133 may create a ::first-letter pseudo-element from one of the elements,

2134 both elements, or simply not create a pseudo-element.</p>

2135

2136 <p>Similarly, if the first letter(s) of the block are not at the start

2137 of the line (for example due to bidirectional reordering), then the UA

2138 need not create the pseudo-element(s).

2139

2140 <div class="example">

2141 <p>Example:</p>

2142 <p><a name="overlapping-example">The following example</a> illustrates

2143 how overlapping pseudo-elements may interact. The first letter of

2144 each P element will be green with a font size of '24pt'. The rest of

2145 the first formatted line will be 'blue' while the rest of the

2146 paragraph will be 'red'.</p>

2147

2148 <pre>p { color: red; font-size: 12pt }

2152 <P>Some text that ends up on two lines</P></pre>

2154 <p>Assuming that a line break will occur before the word "ends", the

2155 <span class="index-inst" title="fictional tag sequence">fictional tag

2165 </P></pre>

2166

2167 <p>Note that the <code>::first-letter</code> element is inside the <code>::first -line</code>

2168 element. Properties set on <code>::first-line</code> are inherited by

2169 <code>::first-letter</code>, but are overridden if the same property is set on

2170 <code>::first-letter</code>.</p>

2174 <h4><a name=UIfragments>7.3.</a> <a name=selection>The ::selection pseudo-elemen t</a></h4>

2175

2176 <p>The <code>::selection</code> pseudo-element applies to the portion

2177 of a document that has been highlighted by the user. This also

2178 applies, for example, to selected text within an editable text

2179 field. This pseudo-element should not be confused with the <code><a

2180 href="#checked">:checked</a></code> pseudo-class (which used to be

2181 named <code>:selected</code>)

2182

2183 <p>Although the <code>::selection</code> pseudo-element is dynamic in

2184 nature, and is altered by user action, it is reasonable to expect that

2185 when a UA re-renders to a static medium (such as a printed page, see

2186 <a href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a>) which was originally rendered to a

2187 dynamic medium (like screen), the UA may wish to transfer the current

2188 <code>::selection</code> state to that other medium, and have all the

2189 appropriate formatting and rendering take effect as well. This is not

2190 required &mdart; UAs may omit the <code>::selection</code>

2191 pseudo-element for static media.

2192

2193 <p>These are the CSS properties that apply to <code>::selection</code>

2194 pseudo-elements: color, background, cursor (optional), outline

2195 (optional). The computed value of the 'background-image' property on

2196 <code>::selection</code> may be ignored.

2198

2199 <h4><a name=gen-content>7.4. The ::before and ::after pseudo-elements</a></h4>

2200

2201 <p>The <code>::before</code> and <code>::after</code> pseudo-elements

2202 can be used to describe generated content before or after an element's

2203 content. They are explained in CSS 2.1 <a

2204 href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a>.</p>

2205

2206 <p>When the <code>::first-letter</code> and <code>::first-line</code>

2207 pseudo-elements are combined with <code>::before</code> and

2208 <code>::after</code>, they apply to the first letter or line of the

2209 element including the inserted text.</p>

2212

2213 <h3><a name=descendant-combinators>8.1. Descendant combinator</a></h3>

2214

2215 <p>At times, authors may want selectors to describe an element that is

2216 the descendant of another element in the document tree (e.g., "an

2217 <code>EM</code> element that is contained within an <code>H1</code>

2218 element"). Descendant combinators express such a relationship. A

2219 descendant combinator is <a href="#whitespace">white space</a> that

2220 separates two sequences of simple selectors. A selector of the form

2221 "<code>A B</code>" represents an element <code>B</code> that is an

2222 arbitrary descendant of some ancestor element <code>A</code>.

2223

2224 <div class="example">

2225 <p>Examples:</p>

2226 <p>For example, consider the following selector:</p>

2227 <pre>h1 em</pre>

2228 <p>It represents an <code>em</code> element being the descendant of

2229 an <code>h1</code> element. It is a correct and valid, but partial,

2230 description of the following fragment:</p>

2231 <pre><h1>This <span class="myclass">headline

2232 is <em>very</em> important</span></h1></pre>

2233 <p>The following selector:</p>

2234 <pre>div * p</pre>

2235 <p>represents a <code>p</code> element that is a grandchild or later

2236 descendant of a <code>div</code> element. Note the whitespace on

2237 either side of the "*" is not part of the universal selector; the

2238 whitespace is a combinator indicating that the DIV must be the

2239 ancestor of some element, and that that element must be an ancestor

2240 of the P.</p>

2241 <p>The following selector, which combines descendant combinators and

2242 <a href="#attribute-selectors">attribute selectors</a>, represents an

2243 element that (1) has the <code>href</code> attribute set and (2) is

2251 between two elements. A child combinator is made of the

2252 "greater-than sign" (<code>></code>) character and

2253 separates two sequences of simple selectors.

2254

2255

2256 <div class="example">

2257 <p>Examples:</p>

2258 <p>The following selector represents a <code>p</code> element that is

2262 combinators.</p>

2263 <pre>div ol>li p</pre><!-- LEAVE THOSE SPACES OUT! see below -->

2264 <p>It represents a <code>p</code> element that is a descendant of an

2267 be a descendant of a <code>div</code>. Notice that the optional white

2287 sequences of simple selectors. The elements represented by the two

2288 sequences share the same parent in the document tree and the element

2289 represented by the first sequence immediately precedes the element

2290 represented by the second one.</p>

2296 <pre>math + p</pre>

2297 <p>The following selector is conceptually similar to the one in the

2298 previous example, except that it adds an attribute selector &mdart; it

2299 adds a constraint to the <code>h1</code> element, that it must have

2525 <h2><a name=downlevel>11. Namespaces and down-level clients</a></h2>

2526

2527 <p>An important issue is the interaction of CSS selectors with XML

2528 documents in web clients that were produced prior to this

2529 document. Unfortunately, due to the fact that namespaces must be

2530 matched based on the URI which identifies the namespace, not the

2531 namespace prefix, some mechanism is required to identify namespaces in

2532 CSS by their URI as well. Without such a mechanism, it is impossible

2533 to construct a CSS style sheet which will properly match selectors in

2534 all cases against a random set of XML documents. However, given

2535 complete knowledge of the XML document to which a style sheet is to be

2536 applied, and a limited use of namespaces within the XML document, it

2537 is possible to construct a style sheet in which selectors would match

2538 elements and attributes correctly.</p>

2539

2540 <p>It should be noted that a down-level CSS client will (if it

2541 properly conforms to CSS forward compatible parsing rules) ignore all

2542 <code>@namespace</code> at-rules, as well as all style rules that make

2543 use of namespace qualified element type or attribute selectors. The

2544 syntax of delimiting namespace prefixes in CSS was deliberately chosen

2545 so that down-level CSS clients would ignore the style rules rather

2546 than possibly match them incorrectly.</p>

2547

2548 <p>The use of default namespaces in CSS makes it possible to write

2549 element type selectors that will function in both namespace aware CSS

2550 clients as well as down-level clients. It should be noted that

2551 down-level clients may incorrectly match selectors against XML

2552 elements in other namespaces.</p>

2553

2554 <p>The following are scenarios and examples in which it is possible to

2555 construct style sheets which would function properly in web clients

2556 that do not implement this proposal.</p>

2557

2558 <ol>

2559 <li>

2560

2561 <p>The XML document does not use namespaces.</p>

2562

2563 <ul>

2564

2565 <li>In this case, it is obviously not necessary to declare or use

2566 namespaces in the style sheet. Standard CSS element type and

2567 attribute selectors will function adequately in a down-level

2568 client.</li>

2569

2570 <li>In a CSS namespace aware client, the default behavior of

2571 element selectors matching without regard to namespace will

2572 function properly against all elements, since no namespaces are

2573 present. However, the use of specific element type selectors that

2574 match only elements that have no namespace ("<code>\|name</code>")

2575 will guarantee that selectors will match only XML elements that do

2576 not have a declared namespace. </li>

2577

2578 </ul>

2579

2580 </li>

2581

2582 <li>

2583

2584 <p>The XML document defines a single, default namespace used

2585 throughout the document. No namespace prefixes are used in element

2586 names.</p>

2587

2588 <ul>

2589

2590 <li>In this case, a down-level client will function as if

2591 namespaces were not used in the XML document at all. Standard CSS

2592 element type and attribute selectors will match against all

2593 elements. </li>

2594

2595 </ul>

2596

2597 </li>

2598

2599 <li>

2600

2601 <p>The XML document does <b>not</b> use a default namespace, all

2602 namespace prefixes used are known to the style sheet author, and

2603 there is a direct mapping between namespace prefixes and namespace

2604 URIs. (A given prefix may only be mapped to one namespace URI

2605 throughout the XML document; there may be multiple prefixes mapped

2606 to the same URI).</p>

2607

2608 <ul>

2609

2610 <li>In this case, the down-level client will view and match

2611 element type and attribute selectors based on their fully

2612 qualified name, not the local part as outlined in the <a

2613 href="#typenmsp">Type selectors and Namespaces</a> section. CSS

2614 selectors may be declared using an escaped colon "<code>\:</code>"

2615 to describe the fully qualified names, e.g.

2616 "<code>html\:h1</code>" will match

2617 <code><html:h1></code>. Selectors using the qualified name

2618 will only match XML elements that use the same prefix. Other

2619 namespace prefixes used in the XML that are mapped to the same URI

2620 will not match as expected unless additional CSS style rules are

2621 declared for them.</li>

2622

2623 <li>Note that selectors declared in this fashion will

2624 <em>only</em> match in down-level clients. A CSS namespace aware

2625 client will match element type and attribute selectors based on

2626 the name's local part. Selectors declared with the fully

2627 qualified name will not match (unless there is no namespace prefix

2628 in the fully qualified name).</li>

2629

2630 </ul>

2631

2632 </li>

2633

2634 </ol>

2635

2636 <p>In other scenarios: when the namespace prefixes used in the XML are

2637 not known in advance by the style sheet author; or a combination of

2638 elements with no namespace are used in conjunction with elements using

2639 a default namespace; or the same namespace prefix is mapped to

2640 <em>different</em> namespace URIs within the same document, or in

2641 different documents; it is impossible to construct a CSS style sheet

2642 that will function properly against all elements in those documents,

2643 unless, the style sheet is written using a namespace URI syntax (as

2644 outlined in this document or similar) and the document is processed by

2645 a CSS and XML namespace aware client.</p>

2790 <p>The inability of a user agent to implement part of this specification due to

2791 the limitations of a particular device (e.g., non interactive user agents will

2792 probably not implement dynamic pseudo-classes because they make no sense without

2793 interactivity) does not imply non-conformance.

2794

2795 <p>All specifications reusing Selectors must contain a <a

2796 href="#profiling">Profile</a> listing the

2797 subset of Selectors it accepts or excludes, and describing the constraints

2798 it adds to the current specification.

2799

2800 <p>Invalidity is caused by a parsing error, e.g. an unrecognized token or a toke n

2801 which is not allowed at the current parsing point.

2802

2803 <p>User agents must observe the rules for handling parsing errors:

2804 <ul>

2805 <li>a simple selector containing an undeclared namespace prefix is invalid</li >

2806 <li>a selector containing an invalid simple selector, an invalid combinator

2807 or an invalid token is invalid. </li>

2808 <li>a group of selectors containing an invalid selector is invalid.</li>

2809 </ul>

2810
