| 141 <h2><a name=abstract></a>Abstract</h2> |
| 142 |
| 143 <p><em>Selectors</em> are patterns that match against elements in a |
| 144 tree. Selectors have been optimized for use with HTML and XML, and |
| 145 are designed to be usable in performance-critical code.</p> |
| 146 |
| 147 <p><acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym> (Cascading |
| 148 Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering of <acronym |
| 149 title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</acronym> and <acronym |
| 150 title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> documents on |
| 151 screen, on paper, in speech, etc. CSS uses Selectors for binding |
| 152 style properties to elements in the document. This document |
| 153 describes extensions to the selectors defined in CSS level 2. These |
| 154 extended selectors will be used by CSS level 3. |
| 155 |
| 156 <p>Selectors define the following function:</p> |
| 157 |
| 158 <pre>expression ∗ element → boolean</pre> |
| 159 |
| 160 <p>That is, given an element and a selector, this specification |
| 161 defines whether that element matches the selector.</p> |
| 162 |
| 163 <p>These expressions can also be used, for instance, to select a set |
| 164 of elements, or a single element from a set of elements, by |
| 165 evaluating the expression across all the elements in a |
| 166 subtree. <acronym title="Simple Tree Transformation |
| 167 Sheets">STTS</acronym> (Simple Tree Transformation Sheets), a |
| 168 language for transforming XML trees, uses this mechanism. <a href="#refsSTTS">

| 170 <h2><a name=status></a>Status of this document</h2> |
| 171 |
| 172 <p><em>This section describes the status of this document at the |
| 173 time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this |
| 174 document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision |
| 175 of this technical report can be found in the <a |
| 176 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/">W3C technical reports index at |
| 177 http://www.w3.org/TR/.</a></em></p> |
| 178 |
| 179 <p>This document describes the selectors that already exist in <a |
| 180 href="#refsCSS1"><abbr title="CSS level 1">CSS1</abbr></a> and <a |
| 181 href="#refsCSS21"><abbr title="CSS level 2">CSS2</abbr></a>, and |
| 182 also proposes new selectors for <abbr title="CSS level |
| 183 3">CSS3</abbr> and other languages that may need them.</p> |
| 184 |
| 185 <p>The CSS Working Group doesn't expect that all implementations of |
| 186 CSS3 will have to implement all selectors. Instead, there will |
| 187 probably be a small number of variants of CSS3, called profiles. For |
| 188 example, it may be that only a profile for interactive user agents |
| 189 will include all of the selectors.</p> |
| 190 |
| 191 <p>This specification is a last call working draft for the the <a |
| 192 href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members">CSS Working Group</a> |
| 193 (<a href="/Style/">Style Activity</a>). This |
| 194 document is a revision of the <a |
| 195 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/">Candidate |
| 196 Recommendation dated 2001 November 13</a>, and has incorporated |
| 197 implementation feedback received in the past few years. It is |
| 198 expected that this last call will proceed straight to Proposed |
| 199 Recommendation stage since it is believed that interoperability will |
| 200 be demonstrable.</p> |
| 201 |
| 202 <p>All persons are encouraged to review and implement this |
| 203 specification and return comments to the (<a |
| 204 href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/">archived</a>) |
| 205 public mailing list <a |
| 206 href="http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html#www-style">www-style</a> |
| 207 (see <a href="http://www.w3.org/Mail/Request">instructions</a>). W3C |
| 208 Members can also send comments directly to the CSS Working |
| 209 Group. |
| 210 The deadline for comments is 14 January 2006.</p> |
| 211 |
| 212 <p>This is still a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or |
| 213 obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to |

| 314 <h2><a name=context>1. Introduction</a></h2> |
| 315 |
| 316 <h3><a name=dependencies></a>1.1. Dependencies</h3> |
| 317 |
| 318 <p>Some features of this specification are specific to CSS, or have |
| 319 particular limitations or rules specific to CSS. In this |
| 320 specification, these have been described in terms of CSS2.1. <a |
| 321 href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a></p> |
| 322 |
| 323 <h3><a name=terminology></a>1.2. Terminology</h3> |
| 324 |
| 325 <p>All of the text of this specification is normative except |
| 326 examples, notes, and sections explicitly marked as |
| 327 non-normative.</p> |
| 328 |
| 329 <h3><a name=changesFromCSS2></a>1.3. Changes from CSS2</h3> |
| 330 |
| 331 <p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p> |
| 332 |
| 333 <p>The main differences between the selectors in CSS2 and those in |
| 334 Selectors are: |
| 335 |
| 336 <ul> |
| 337 |
| 338 <li>the list of basic definitions (selector, group of selectors, |
| 339 simple selector, etc.) has been changed; in particular, what was |
| 340 referred to in CSS2 as a simple selector is now called a sequence |
| 341 of simple selectors, and the term "simple selector" is now used for |
| 342 the components of this sequence</li> |
| 343 |
| 344 <li>an optional namespace component is now allowed in type element |
| 345 selectors, the universal selector and attribute selectors</li> |
| 346 |
| 347 <li>a <a href="#general-sibling-combinators">new combinator</a> has been intr
oduced</li> |
| 348 |
| 349 <li>new simple selectors including substring matching attribute |
| 350 selectors, and new pseudo-classes</li> |
| 351 |
| 352 <li>new pseudo-elements, and introduction of the "::" convention |
| 353 for pseudo-elements</li> |
| 354 |
| 355 <li>the grammar has been rewritten</li> |
| 356 |
| 357 <li>profiles to be added to specifications integrating Selectors |
| 358 and defining the set of selectors which is actually supported by |
| 359 each specification</li> |
| 360 |
| 361 <li>Selectors are now a CSS3 Module and an independent |
| 362 specification; other specifications can now refer to this document |
| 363 independently of CSS</li> |
| 364 |
| 365 <li>the specification now has its own test suite</li> |
| 366 |
| 367 </ul> |
| 368 |
| 369 <h2><a name=selectors></a>2. Selectors</h2> |
| 370 |
| 371 <p><em>This section is non-normative, as it merely summarizes the |
| 372 following sections.</em></p> |
| 373 |
| 374 <p>A Selector represents a structure. This structure can be used as a |
| 375 condition (e.g. in a CSS rule) that determines which elements a |
| 376 selector matches in the document tree, or as a flat description of the |
| 377 HTML or XML fragment corresponding to that structure.</p> |
| 378 |
| 379 <p>Selectors may range from simple element names to rich contextual |
| 380 representations.</p> |
| 381 |
| 382 <p>The following table summarizes the Selector syntax:</p> |

| 684 |
| 685 <p>The case sensitivity of document language element names, attribute |

| 687 language. For example, in HTML, element names are case-insensitive, |
| 688 but in XML, they are case-sensitive.</p> |

| 699 always begins with a <a href="#type-selectors">type selector</a> or a |
| 700 <a href="#universal-selector">universal selector</a>. No other type |
| 701 selector or universal selector is allowed in the sequence.</p> |
| 702 |
| 703 <p>A <dfn><a name=simple-selectors-dfn></a><a |

| 712 href="#pseudo-elements">pseudo-element</a> may be appended to the last |
| 713 sequence of simple selectors.</p> |
| 714 |
| 715 <p><dfn>Combinators</dfn> are: white space, "greater-than |
| 716 sign" (U+003E, <code>></code>), "plus sign" (U+002B, |
| 717 <code>+</code>) and "tilde" (U+007E, <code>~</code>). White |
| 718 space may appear between a combinator and the simple selectors around |
| 719 it. <a name=whitespace></a>Only the characters "space" (U+0020), "tab" |
| 720 (U+0009), "line feed" (U+000A), "carriage return" (U+000D), and "form |
| 721 feed" (U+000C) can occur in white space. Other space-like characters, |
| 722 such as "em-space" (U+2003) and "ideographic space" (U+3000), are |
| 723 never part of white space.</p> |
| 724 |
| 725 <p>The elements of a document tree that are represented by a selector |
| 726 are the <dfn><a name=subject></a>subjects of the selector</dfn>. A |
| 727 selector consisting of a single sequence of simple selectors |
| 728 represents any element satisfying its requirements. Prepending another |
| 729 sequence of simple selectors and a combinator to a sequence imposes |
| 730 additional matching constraints, so the subjects of a selector are |
| 731 always a subset of the elements represented by the last sequence of |
| 732 simple selectors.</p> |
| 733 |
| 734 <p>An empty selector, containing no sequence of simple selectors and |

| 738 <h2><a name=grouping>5. Groups of selectors</a></h2> |
| 739 |

| 742 |
| 743 <div class="example"> |
| 744 <p>CSS examples:</p> |
| 745 <p>In this example, we condense three rules with identical |

| 748 h2 { font-family: sans-serif } |

| 752 </div> |
| 753 |
| 754 <p><strong>Warning</strong>: the equivalence is true in this example |
| 755 because all the selectors are valid selectors. If just one of these |
| 756 selectors were invalid, the entire group of selectors would be |
| 757 invalid. This would invalidate the rule for all three heading |

| 764 <h3><a name=type-selectors>6.1. Type selector</a></h3> |
| 765 |
| 766 <p>A <dfn>type selector</dfn> is the name of a document language |
| 767 element type. A type selector represents an instance of the element |
| 768 type in the document tree.</p> |
| 769 |
| 770 <div class="example"> |
| 771 <p>Example:</p> |
| 772 <p>The following selector represents an <code>h1</code> element in the document
tree:</p> |
| 773 <pre>h1</pre> |
| 774 </div> |
| 775 |
| 776 |
| 777 <h4><a name=typenmsp>6.1.1. Type selectors and namespaces</a></h4> |
| 778 |
| 779 <p>Type selectors allow an optional namespace (<a |
| 780 href="#refsXMLNAMES">[XMLNAMES]</a>) component. A namespace prefix |
| 781 that has been previously declared may be prepended to the element name |
| 782 separated by the namespace separator "vertical bar" |
| 783 (U+007C, <code>|</code>).</p> |
| 784 |
| 785 <p>The namespace component may be left empty to indicate that the |
| 786 selector is only to represent elements with no declared namespace.</p> |
| 787 |
| 788 <p>An asterisk may be used for the namespace prefix, indicating that |
| 789 the selector represents elements in any namespace (including elements |
| 790 with no namespace).</p> |
| 791 |
| 792 <p>Element type selectors that have no namespace component (no |
| 793 namespace separator), represent elements without regard to the |
| 794 element's namespace (equivalent to "<code>*|</code>") unless a default |
| 795 namespace has been declared. If a default namespace has been declared, |
| 796 the selector will represent only elements in the default |
| 797 namespace.</p> |
| 798 |
| 799 <p>A type selector containing a namespace prefix that has not been |
| 800 previously declared is an <a href="#Conformance">invalid</a> selector. |
| 801 The mechanism for declaring a namespace prefix is left up to the |
| 802 language implementing Selectors. In CSS, such a mechanism is defined |
| 803 in the General Syntax module.</p> |
| 804 |
| 805 <p>In a namespace-aware client, element type selectors will only match |
| 806 against the <a |
| 807 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#NT-LocalPart">local part</a> |
| 808 of the element's <a |
| 809 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-qualnames">qualified |

| 905 <h3><a name=attribute-selectors>6.3. Attribute selectors</a></h3> |
| 906 |
| 907 <p>Selectors allow the representation of an element's attributes. When |
| 908 a selector is used as an expression to match against an element, |
| 909 attribute selectors must be considered to match an element if that |
| 910 element has an attribute that matches the attribute represented by the |
| 911 attribute selector.</p> |
| 912 |
| 913 <h4><a name=attribute-representation>6.3.1. Attribute presence and values |
| 914 selectors</a></h4> |
| 915 |
| 916 <p>CSS2 introduced four attribute selectors:</p> |
| 917 |
| 918 <dl> |
| 919 <dt><code>[att]</code> |
| 920 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute, whatever the va
lue of |
| 921 the attribute.</dd> |
| 922 <dt><code>[att=val]</code></dt> |
| 923 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value is e
xactly |
| 924 "val".</dd> |
| 925 <dt><code>[att~=val]</code></dt> |
| 926 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value is a
<a |
| 927 href="#whitespace">whitespace</a>-separated list of words, one of |
| 928 which is exactly "val". If "val" contains whitespace, it will never |
| 929 represent anything (since the words are <em>separated</em> by |
| 930 spaces).</dd> |
| 931 <dt><code>[att|=val]</code> |
| 932 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute, its value eithe
r |
| 933 being exactly "val" or beginning with "val" immediately followed by |
| 934 "-" (U+002D). This is primarily intended to allow language subcode |
| 935 matches (e.g., the <code>hreflang</code> attribute on the |
| 936 <code>link</code> element in HTML) as described in RFC 3066 (<a |
| 937 href="#refsRFC3066">[RFC3066]</a>). For <code>lang</code> (or |
| 938 <code>xml:lang</code>) language subcode matching, please see <a |
| 939 href="#lang-pseudo">the <code>:lang</code> pseudo-class</a>.</dd> |
| 940 </dl> |
| 941 |
| 942 <p>Attribute values must be identifiers or strings. The |
| 943 case-sensitivity of attribute names and values in selectors depends on |
| 944 the document language.</p> |
| 945 |
| 946 <div class="example"> |
| 947 |
| 948 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 949 |
| 950 <p>The following attribute selector represents an <code>h1</code> |
| 951 element that carries the <code>title</code> attribute, whatever its |
| 952 value:</p> |
| 953 |
| 954 <pre>h1[title]</pre> |
| 955 |
| 956 <p>In the following example, the selector represents a |
| 957 <code>span</code> element whose <code>class</code> attribute has |
| 958 exactly the value "example":</p> |
| 959 |
| 960 <pre>span[class="example"]</pre> |
| 961 |
| 962 <p>Multiple attribute selectors can be used to represent several |
| 963 attributes of an element, or several conditions on the same |
| 964 attribute. Here, the selector represents a <code>span</code> element |
| 965 whose <code>hello</code> attribute has exactly the value "Cleveland" |
| 966 and whose <code>goodbye</code> attribute has exactly the value |
| 967 "Columbus":</p> |
| 968 |
| 969 <pre>span[hello="Cleveland"][goodbye="Columbus"]</pre> |
| 970 |
| 971 <p>The following selectors illustrate the differences between "=" |
| 972 and "~=". The first selector will represent, for example, the value |
| 973 "copyright copyleft copyeditor" on a <code>rel</code> attribute. The |
| 974 second selector will only represent an <code>a</code> element with |
| 975 an <code>href</code> attribute having the exact value |
| 976 "http://www.w3.org/".</p> |
| 977 |
| 978 <pre>a[rel~="copyright"] |
| 979 a[href="http://www.w3.org/"]</pre> |
| 980 |
| 981 <p>The following selector represents a <code>link</code> element |
| 982 whose <code>hreflang</code> attribute is exactly "fr".</p> |
| 983 |
| 984 <pre>link[hreflang=fr]</pre> |
| 985 |
| 986 <p>The following selector represents a <code>link</code> element for |
| 987 which the values of the <code>hreflang</code> attribute begins with |
| 988 "en", including "en", "en-US", and "en-cockney":</p> |
| 989 |
| 990 <pre>link[hreflang|="en"]</pre> |
| 991 |
| 992 <p>Similarly, the following selectors represents a |
| 993 <code>DIALOGUE</code> element whenever it has one of two different |
| 994 values for an attribute <code>character</code>:</p> |
| 995 |
| 996 <pre>DIALOGUE[character=romeo] |
| 997 DIALOGUE[character=juliet]</pre> |
| 998 |
| 999 </div> |
| 1000 |
| 1001 <h4><a name=attribute-substrings></a>6.3.2. Substring matching attribute |
| 1002 selectors</h4> |
| 1003 |
| 1004 <p>Three additional attribute selectors are provided for matching |
| 1005 substrings in the value of an attribute:</p> |
| 1006 |
| 1007 <dl> |
| 1008 <dt><code>[att^=val]</code></dt> |
| 1009 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value begi
ns |
| 1010 with the prefix "val".</dd> |
| 1011 <dt><code>[att$=val]</code> |
| 1012 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value ends
with |
| 1013 the suffix "val".</dd> |
| 1014 <dt><code>[att*=val]</code> |
| 1015 <dd>Represents an element with the <code>att</code> attribute whose value cont
ains |
| 1016 at least one instance of the substring "val".</dd> |
| 1017 </dl> |
| 1018 |
| 1019 <p>Attribute values must be identifiers or strings. The |
| 1020 case-sensitivity of attribute names in selectors depends on the |
| 1021 document language.</p> |
| 1022 |
| 1023 <div class="example"> |
| 1024 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1025 <p>The following selector represents an HTML <code>object</code>, referencing a
n |
| 1026 image:</p> |
| 1027 <pre>object[type^="image/"]</pre> |
| 1028 <p>The following selector represents an HTML anchor <code>a</code> with an |
| 1029 <code>href</code> attribute whose value ends with ".html".</p> |
| 1030 <pre>a[href$=".html"]</pre> |
| 1031 <p>The following selector represents an HTML paragraph with a <code>title</code
> |
| 1032 attribute whose value contains the substring "hello"</p> |
| 1033 <pre>p[title*="hello"]</pre> |
| 1034 </div> |
| 1035 |
| 1036 <h4><a name=attrnmsp>6.3.3. Attribute selectors and namespaces</a></h4> |
| 1037 |
| 1038 <p>Attribute selectors allow an optional namespace component to the |
| 1039 attribute name. A namespace prefix that has been previously declared |
| 1040 may be prepended to the attribute name separated by the namespace |
| 1041 separator "vertical bar" (<code>|</code>). In keeping with |
| 1042 the Namespaces in the XML recommendation, default namespaces do not |
| 1043 apply to attributes, therefore attribute selectors without a namespace |
| 1044 component apply only to attributes that have no declared namespace |
| 1045 (equivalent to "<code>|attr</code>"). An asterisk may be used for the |
| 1046 namespace prefix indicating that the selector is to match all |
| 1047 attribute names without regard to the attribute's namespace. |
| 1048 |
| 1049 <p>An attribute selector with an attribute name containing a namespace |
| 1050 prefix that has not been previously declared is an <a |
| 1051 href="#Conformance">invalid</a> selector. The mechanism for declaring |
| 1052 a namespace prefix is left up to the language implementing Selectors. |
| 1053 In CSS, such a mechanism is defined in the General Syntax module. |
| 1054 |
| 1055 <div class="example"> |
| 1056 <p>CSS examples:</p> |
| 1057 <pre>@namespace foo "http://www.example.com"; |
| 1058 [foo|att=val] { color: blue } |
| 1059 [*|att] { color: yellow } |
| 1060 [|att] { color: green } |
| 1061 [att] { color: green }</pre> |
| 1062 |
| 1063 <p>The first rule will match only elements with the attribute |
| 1064 <code>att</code> in the "http://www.example.com" namespace with the |
| 1065 value "val".</p> |
| 1066 |
| 1067 <p>The second rule will match only elements with the attribute |
| 1068 <code>att</code> regardless of the namespace of the attribute |
| 1069 (including no declared namespace).</p> |
| 1070 |
| 1071 <p>The last two rules are equivalent and will match only elements |
| 1072 with the attribute <code>att</code> where the attribute is not |
| 1073 declared to be in a namespace.</p> |
| 1074 |
| 1075 </div> |
| 1076 |
| 1077 <h4><a name=def-values>6.3.4. Default attribute values in DTDs</a></h4> |
| 1078 |
| 1079 <p>Attribute selectors represent explicitly set attribute values in |
| 1080 the document tree. Default attribute values may be defined in a DTD or |
| 1081 elsewhere, but cannot always be selected by attribute |
| 1082 selectors. Selectors should be designed so that they work even if the |
| 1083 default values are not included in the document tree.</p> |
| 1084 |
| 1085 <p>More precisely, a UA is <em>not</em> required to read an "external |
| 1086 subset" of the DTD but <em>is</em> required to look for default |
| 1087 attribute values in the document's "internal subset." (See <a |
| 1088 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a> for definitions of these subsets.)</p> |
| 1089 |
| 1090 <p>A UA that recognizes an XML namespace <a |
| 1091 href="#refsXMLNAMES">[XMLNAMES]</a> is not required to use its |
| 1092 knowledge of that namespace to treat default attribute values as if |
| 1093 they were present in the document. (For example, an XHTML UA is not |
| 1094 required to use its built-in knowledge of the XHTML DTD.)</p> |
| 1095 |
| 1096 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Typically, implementations |
| 1097 choose to ignore external subsets.</p> |
| 1098 |
| 1099 <div class="example"> |
| 1100 <p>Example:</p> |
| 1101 |
| 1102 <p>Consider an element EXAMPLE with an attribute "notation" that has a |
| 1103 default value of "decimal". The DTD fragment might be</p> |
| 1104 |
| 1105 <pre class="dtd-example"><!ATTLIST EXAMPLE notation (decimal,octal) "decimal"
></pre> |
| 1106 |
| 1107 <p>If the style sheet contains the rules</p> |
| 1108 |
| 1109 <pre>EXAMPLE[notation=decimal] { /*... default property settings ...*/ } |
| 1110 EXAMPLE[notation=octal] { /*... other settings...*/ }</pre> |
| 1111 |
| 1112 <p>the first rule will not match elements whose "notation" attribute |
| 1113 is set by default, i.e. not set explicitly. To catch all cases, the |
| 1114 attribute selector for the default value must be dropped:</p> |
| 1115 |
| 1116 <pre>EXAMPLE { /*... default property settings ...*/ } |
| 1117 EXAMPLE[notation=octal] { /*... other settings...*/ }</pre> |
| 1118 |
| 1119 <p>Here, because the selector <code>EXAMPLE[notation=octal]</code> is |
| 1120 more specific than the tag |
| 1121 selector alone, the style declarations in the second rule will override |
| 1122 those in the first for elements that have a "notation" attribute value |
| 1123 of "octal". Care has to be taken that all property declarations that |
| 1124 are to apply only to the default case are overridden in the non-default |
| 1125 cases' style rules.</p> |

| 1129 <h3><a name=class-html>6.4. Class selectors</a></h3> |
| 1130 |
| 1131 <p>Working with HTML, authors may use the period (U+002E, |
| 1132 <code>.</code>) notation as an alternative to the <code>~=</code> |
| 1133 notation when representing the <code>class</code> attribute. Thus, for |
| 1134 HTML, <code>div.value</code> and <code>div[class~=value]</code> have |
| 1135 the same meaning. The attribute value must immediately follow the |
| 1136 "period" (<code>.</code>).</p> |
| 1137 |
| 1138 <p>UAs may apply selectors using the period (.) notation in XML |
| 1139 documents if the UA has namespace-specific knowledge that allows it to |
| 1140 determine which attribute is the "class" attribute for the |
| 1141 respective namespace. One such example of namespace-specific knowledge |
| 1142 is the prose in the specification for a particular namespace (e.g. SVG |
| 1143 1.0 <a href="#refsSVG">[SVG]</a> describes the <a |

| 1149 |
| 1150 <div class="example"> |
| 1151 <p>CSS examples:</p> |
| 1152 |
| 1153 <p>We can assign style information to all elements with |

| 1193 </div> |
| 1194 |
| 1195 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Because CSS gives considerable |
| 1196 power to the "class" attribute, authors could conceivably design their |
| 1197 own "document language" based on elements with almost no associated |

| 1199 information through the "class" attribute. Authors should avoid this |
| 1200 practice since the structural elements of a document language often |
| 1201 have recognized and accepted meanings and author-defined classes may |
| 1202 not.</p> |
| 1203 |
| 1204 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If an element has multiple |

| 1208 be reached, however, so this behavior is explicitly non-normative in |
| 1209 this specification.</p> |
| 1210 |
| 1211 <h3><a name=id-selectors>6.5. ID selectors</a></h3> |
| 1212 |
| 1213 <p>Document languages may contain attributes that are declared to be |
| 1214 of type ID. What makes attributes of type ID special is that no two |
| 1215 such attributes can have the same value in a document, regardless of |
| 1216 the type of the elements that carry them; whatever the document |
| 1217 language, an ID typed attribute can be used to uniquely identify its |
| 1218 element. In HTML all ID attributes are named "id"; XML applications |
| 1219 may name ID attributes differently, but the same restriction |
| 1220 applies.</p> |
| 1221 |
| 1222 <p>An ID-typed attribute of a document language allows authors to |
| 1223 assign an identifier to one element instance in the document tree. W3C |
| 1224 ID selectors represent an element instance based on its identifier. An |
| 1225 ID selector contains a "number sign" (U+0023, |
| 1226 <code>#</code>) immediately followed by the ID value, which must be an |
| 1227 identifier.</p> |
| 1228 |
| 1229 <p>Selectors does not specify how a UA knows the ID-typed attribute of |
| 1230 an element. The UA may, e.g., read a document's DTD, have the |
| 1231 information hard-coded or ask the user. |
| 1232 |
| 1233 <div class="example"> |
| 1234 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1235 <p>The following ID selector represents an <code>h1</code> element |
| 1236 whose ID-typed attribute has the value "chapter1":</p> |
| 1237 <pre>h1#chapter1</pre> |
| 1238 <p>The following ID selector represents any element whose ID-typed |
| 1239 attribute has the value "chapter1":</p> |
| 1240 <pre>#chapter1</pre> |
| 1241 <p>The following selector represents any element whose ID-typed |
| 1242 attribute has the value "z98y".</p> |
| 1243 <pre>*#z98y</pre> |
| 1244 </div> |
| 1245 |
| 1246 <p class="note"><strong>Note.</strong> In XML 1.0 <a |
| 1247 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a>, the information about which attribute |
| 1248 contains an element's IDs is contained in a DTD or a schema. When |
| 1249 parsing XML, UAs do not always read the DTD, and thus may not know |
| 1250 what the ID of an element is (though a UA may have namespace-specific |
| 1251 knowledge that allows it to determine which attribute is the ID |
| 1252 attribute for that namespace). If a style sheet designer knows or |
| 1253 suspects that a UA may not know what the ID of an element is, he |
| 1254 should use normal attribute selectors instead: |
| 1255 <code>[name=p371]</code> instead of <code>#p371</code>. Elements in |
| 1256 XML 1.0 documents without a DTD do not have IDs at all.</p> |
| 1257 |
| 1258 <p>If an element has multiple ID attributes, all of them must be |
| 1259 treated as IDs for that element for the purposes of the ID |
| 1260 selector. Such a situation could be reached using mixtures of xml:id, |
| 1261 DOM3 Core, XML DTDs, and namespace-specific knowledge.</p> |
| 1262 |
| 1263 <h3><a name=pseudo-classes>6.6. Pseudo-classes</a></h3> |
| 1264 |
| 1265 <p>The pseudo-class concept is introduced to permit selection based on |
| 1266 information that lies outside of the document tree or that cannot be |
| 1267 expressed using the other simple selectors.</p> |
| 1268 |
| 1269 <p>A pseudo-class always consists of a "colon" |
| 1270 (<code>:</code>) followed by the name of the pseudo-class and |
| 1271 optionally by a value between parentheses.</p> |
| 1272 |
| 1273 <p>Pseudo-classes are allowed in all sequences of simple selectors |
| 1274 contained in a selector. Pseudo-classes are allowed anywhere in |
| 1275 sequences of simple selectors, after the leading type selector or |
| 1276 universal selector (possibly omitted). Pseudo-class names are |
| 1277 case-insensitive. Some pseudo-classes are mutually exclusive, while |
| 1278 others can be applied simultaneously to the same |
| 1279 element. Pseudo-classes may be dynamic, in the sense that an element |
| 1280 may acquire or lose a pseudo-class while a user interacts with the |
| 1281 document.</p> |
| 1282 |
| 1283 |
| 1284 <h4><a name=dynamic-pseudos>6.6.1. Dynamic pseudo-classes</a></h4> |
| 1285 |
| 1286 <p>Dynamic pseudo-classes classify elements on characteristics other |
| 1287 than their name, attributes, or content, in principle characteristics |
| 1288 that cannot be deduced from the document tree.</p> |
| 1289 |
| 1290 <p>Dynamic pseudo-classes do not appear in the document source or |
| 1291 document tree.</p> |
| 1292 |
| 1293 |
| 1294 <h5>The <a name=link>link pseudo-classes: :link and :visited</a></h5> |
| 1295 |
| 1296 <p>User agents commonly display unvisited links differently from |
| 1297 previously visited ones. Selectors |
| 1298 provides the pseudo-classes <code>:link</code> and |
| 1299 <code>:visited</code> to distinguish them:</p> |
| 1300 |
| 1301 <ul> |
| 1302 <li>The <code>:link</code> pseudo-class applies to links that have |
| 1303 not yet been visited.</li> |
| 1304 <li>The <code>:visited</code> pseudo-class applies once the link has |
| 1305 been visited by the user. </li> |
| 1306 </ul> |
| 1307 |
| 1308 <p>After some amount of time, user agents may choose to return a |
| 1309 visited link to the (unvisited) ':link' state.</p> |
| 1310 |
| 1311 <p>The two states are mutually exclusive.</p> |
| 1312 |
| 1313 <div class="example"> |
| 1314 |
| 1315 <p>Example:</p> |
| 1316 |
| 1317 <p>The following selector represents links carrying class |
| 1318 <code>external</code> and already visited:</p> |
| 1319 |
| 1320 <pre>a.external:visited</pre> |
| 1321 |
| 1322 </div> |
| 1323 |
| 1324 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> It is possible for style sheet |
| 1325 authors to abuse the :link and :visited pseudo-classes to determine |
| 1326 which sites a user has visited without the user's consent. |
| 1327 |
| 1328 <p>UAs may therefore treat all links as unvisited links, or implement |
| 1329 other measures to preserve the user's privacy while rendering visited |

| 1332 <h5>The <a name=useraction-pseudos>user action pseudo-classes |
| 1333 :hover, :active, and :focus</a></h5> |
| 1334 |
| 1335 <p>Interactive user agents sometimes change the rendering in response |
| 1336 to user actions. Selectors provides |
| 1337 three pseudo-classes for the selection of an element the user is |
| 1338 acting on.</p> |
| 1339 |
| 1340 <ul> |
| 1341 |
| 1342 <li>The <code>:hover</code> pseudo-class applies while the user |
| 1343 designates an element with a pointing device, but does not activate |
| 1344 it. For example, a visual user agent could apply this pseudo-class |
| 1345 when the cursor (mouse pointer) hovers over a box generated by the |
| 1346 element. User agents not that do not support <a |
| 1347 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#interactive-media-group">intera
ctive |
| 1348 media</a> do not have to support this pseudo-class. Some conforming |
| 1349 user agents that support <a |
| 1350 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#interactive-media-group">intera
ctive |
| 1351 media</a> may not be able to support this pseudo-class (e.g., a pen |
| 1352 device that does not detect hovering).</li> |
| 1353 |
| 1354 <li>The <code>:active</code> pseudo-class applies while an element |
| 1355 is being activated by the user. For example, between the times the |
| 1356 user presses the mouse button and releases it.</li> |
| 1357 |
| 1358 <li>The <code>:focus</code> pseudo-class applies while an element |
| 1359 has the focus (accepts keyboard or mouse events, or other forms of |
| 1360 input). </li> |
| 1361 |
| 1362 </ul> |
| 1363 |
| 1364 <p>There may be document language or implementation specific limits on |
| 1365 which elements can become <code>:active</code> or acquire |
| 1366 <code>:focus</code>.</p> |
| 1367 |
| 1368 <p>These pseudo-classes are not mutually exclusive. An element may |
| 1369 match several pseudo-classes at the same time.</p> |
| 1370 |
| 1371 <p>Selectors doesn't define if the parent of an element that is |
| 1372 ':active' or ':hover' is also in that state.</p> |
| 1373 |
| 1374 <div class="example"> |
| 1375 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1376 <pre>a:link /* unvisited links */ |
| 1377 a:visited /* visited links */ |
| 1378 a:hover /* user hovers */ |
| 1379 a:active /* active links */</pre> |
| 1380 <p>An example of combining dynamic pseudo-classes:</p> |
| 1381 <pre>a:focus |
| 1382 a:focus:hover</pre> |
| 1383 <p>The last selector matches <code>a</code> elements that are in |
| 1384 the pseudo-class :focus and in the pseudo-class :hover.</p> |
| 1385 </div> |
| 1386 |
| 1387 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> An element can be both ':visited' |
| 1388 and ':active' (or ':link' and ':active').</p> |
| 1389 |
| 1390 <h4><a name=target-pseudo>6.6.2. The target pseudo-class :target</a></h4> |
| 1391 |
| 1392 <p>Some URIs refer to a location within a resource. This kind of URI |
| 1393 ends with a "number sign" (#) followed by an anchor |
| 1394 identifier (called the fragment identifier).</p> |
| 1395 |
| 1396 <p>URIs with fragment identifiers link to a certain element within the |
| 1397 document, known as the target element. For instance, here is a URI |
| 1398 pointing to an anchor named <code>section_2</code> in an HTML |
| 1399 document:</p> |
| 1400 |
| 1401 <pre>http://example.com/html/top.html#section_2</pre> |
| 1402 |
| 1403 <p>A target element can be represented by the <code>:target</code> |
| 1404 pseudo-class. If the document's URI has no fragment identifier, then |
| 1405 the document has no target element.</p> |
| 1406 |
| 1407 <div class="example"> |
| 1408 <p>Example:</p> |
| 1409 <pre>p.note:target</pre> |
| 1410 <p>This selector represents a <code>p</code> element of class |
| 1411 <code>note</code> that is the target element of the referring |
| 1412 URI.</p> |
| 1413 </div> |
| 1414 |
| 1415 <div class="example"> |
| 1416 <p>CSS example:</p> |
| 1417 <p>Here, the <code>:target</code> pseudo-class is used to make the |
| 1418 target element red and place an image before it, if there is one:</p> |
| 1419 <pre>*:target { color : red } |
| 1420 *:target::before { content : url(target.png) }</pre> |
| 1421 </div> |
| 1422 |
| 1423 <h4><a name=lang-pseudo>6.6.3. The language pseudo-class :lang</a></h4> |
| 1424 |
| 1425 <p>If the document language specifies how the human language of an |
| 1426 element is determined, it is possible to write selectors that |
| 1427 represent an element based on its language. For example, in HTML <a |
| 1428 href="#refsHTML4">[HTML4]</a>, the language is determined by a |
| 1429 combination of the <code>lang</code> attribute, the <code>meta</code> |
| 1430 element, and possibly by information from the protocol (such as HTTP |
| 1431 headers). XML uses an attribute called <code>xml:lang</code>, and |
| 1432 there may be other document language-specific methods for determining |
| 1433 the language.</p> |
| 1434 |
| 1435 <p>The pseudo-class <code>:lang(C)</code> represents an element that |
| 1436 is in language C. Whether an element is represented by a |
| 1437 <code>:lang()</code> selector is based solely on the identifier C |
| 1438 being either equal to, or a hyphen-separated substring of, the |
| 1439 element's language value, in the same way as if performed by the <a |
| 1440 href="#attribute-representation">'|='</a> operator in attribute |
| 1441 selectors. The identifier C does not have to be a valid language |
| 1442 name.</p> |
| 1443 |
| 1444 <p>C must not be empty. (If it is, the selector is invalid.)</p> |
| 1445 |
| 1446 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> It is recommended that |
| 1447 documents and protocols indicate language using codes from RFC 3066 <a |
| 1448 href="#refsRFC3066">[RFC3066]</a> or its successor, and by means of |
| 1449 "xml:lang" attributes in the case of XML-based documents <a |
| 1450 href="#refsXML10">[XML10]</a>. See <a |
| 1451 href="http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-2or3.html"> |

| 1453 |
| 1454 <div class="example"> |
| 1455 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1456 <p>The two following selectors represent an HTML document that is in |
| 1457 Belgian, French, or German. The two next selectors represent |
| 1458 <code>q</code> quotations in an arbitrary element in Belgian, French, |
| 1459 or German.</p> |
| 1460 <pre>html:lang(fr-be) |

| 1466 <h4><a name=UIstates>6.6.4. The UI element states pseudo-classes</a></h4> |
| 1467 |
| 1468 <h5><a name=enableddisabled>The :enabled and :disabled pseudo-classes</a></h5> |
| 1469 |
| 1470 <p>The <code>:enabled</code> pseudo-class allows authors to customize |
| 1471 the look of user interface elements that are enabled — which the |
| 1472 user can select or activate in some fashion (e.g. clicking on a button |
| 1473 with a mouse). There is a need for such a pseudo-class because there |
| 1474 is no way to programmatically specify the default appearance of say, |
| 1475 an enabled <code>input</code> element without also specifying what it |
| 1476 would look like when it was disabled.</p> |
| 1477 |
| 1478 <p>Similar to <code>:enabled</code>, <code>:disabled</code> allows the |
| 1479 author to specify precisely how a disabled or inactive user interface |
| 1480 element should look.</p> |
| 1481 |
| 1482 <p>Most elements will be neither enabled nor disabled. An element is |
| 1483 enabled if the user can either activate it or transfer the focus to |
| 1484 it. An element is disabled if it could be enabled, but the user cannot |
| 1485 presently activate it or transfer focus to it.</p> |
| 1486 |
| 1487 |
| 1488 <h5><a name=checked>The :checked pseudo-class</a></h5> |
| 1489 |
| 1490 <p>Radio and checkbox elements can be toggled by the user. Some menu |
| 1491 items are "checked" when the user selects them. When such elements are |
| 1492 toggled "on" the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class applies. The |
| 1493 <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class initially applies to such elements |
| 1494 that have the HTML4 <code>selected</code> and <code>checked</code> |
| 1495 attributes as described in <a |
| 1496 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1">Section |
| 1497 17.2.1 of HTML4</a>, but of course the user can toggle "off" such |
| 1498 elements in which case the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class would no |
| 1499 longer apply. While the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class is dynamic |
| 1500 in nature, and is altered by user action, since it can also be based |
| 1501 on the presence of the semantic HTML4 <code>selected</code> and |
| 1502 <code>checked</code> attributes, it applies to all media. |
| 1503 |
| 1504 |
| 1505 <h5><a name=indeterminate>The :indeterminate pseudo-class</a></h5> |
| 1506 |
| 1507 <div class="note"> |
| 1508 |
| 1509 <p>Radio and checkbox elements can be toggled by the user, but are |
| 1510 sometimes in an indeterminate state, neither checked nor unchecked. |
| 1511 This can be due to an element attribute, or DOM manipulation.</p> |
| 1512 |
| 1513 <p>A future version of this specification may introduce an |
| 1514 <code>:indeterminate</code> pseudo-class that applies to such elements. |
| 1515 <!--While the <code>:indeterminate</code> pseudo-class is dynamic in |
| 1516 nature, and is altered by user action, since it can also be based on |
| 1517 the presence of an element attribute, it applies to all media.</p> |
| 1518 |
| 1519 <p>Components of a radio-group initialized with no pre-selected choice |

| 1525 <h4><a name=structural-pseudos>6.6.5. Structural pseudo-classes</a></h4> |
| 1526 |
| 1527 <p>Selectors introduces the concept of <dfn>structural |
| 1528 pseudo-classes</dfn> to permit selection based on extra information that lies in |
| 1529 the document tree but cannot be represented by other simple selectors or |
| 1530 combinators. |
| 1531 |
| 1532 <p>Note that standalone pieces of PCDATA (text nodes in the DOM) are |
| 1533 not counted when calculating the position of an element in the list of |
| 1534 children of its parent. When calculating the position of an element in |
| 1535 the list of children of its parent, the index numbering starts at 1. |
| 1536 |
| 1537 |
| 1538 <h5><a name=root-pseudo>:root pseudo-class</a></h5> |
| 1539 |
| 1540 <p>The <code>:root</code> pseudo-class represents an element that is |
| 1541 the root of the document. In HTML 4, this is always the |
| 1542 <code>HTML</code> element. |
| 1543 |
| 1544 |
| 1545 <h5><a name=nth-child-pseudo>:nth-child() pseudo-class</a></h5> |
| 1546 |
| 1547 <p>The |
| 1548 <code>:nth-child(<var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>)</code> |
| 1549 pseudo-class notation represents an element that has |
| 1550 <var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>-1 siblings |
| 1551 <strong>before</strong> it in the document tree, for a given positive |
| 1552 integer or zero value of <code>n</code>, and has a parent element. In |
| 1553 other words, this matches the <var>b</var>th child of an element after |
| 1554 all the children have been split into groups of <var>a</var> elements |
| 1555 each. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other |
| 1556 row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color |
| 1557 of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The <var>a</var> and |
| 1558 <var>b</var> values must be zero, negative integers or positive |
| 1559 integers. The index of the first child of an element is 1. |
| 1560 |
| 1561 <p>In addition to this, <code>:nth-child()</code> can take |
| 1562 '<code>odd</code>' and '<code>even</code>' as arguments instead. |
| 1563 '<code>odd</code>' has the same signification as <code>2n+1</code>, |
| 1564 and '<code>even</code>' has the same signification as <code>2n</code>. |
| 1565 |
| 1566 |
| 1567 <div class="example"> |
| 1568 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1569 <pre>tr:nth-child(2n+1) /* represents every odd row of an HTML table */ |
| 1570 tr:nth-child(odd) /* same */ |
| 1571 tr:nth-child(2n) /* represents every even row of an HTML table */ |
| 1572 tr:nth-child(even) /* same */ |
| 1573 |
| 1574 /* Alternate paragraph colours in CSS */ |
| 1575 p:nth-child(4n+1) { color: navy; } |
| 1576 p:nth-child(4n+2) { color: green; } |

| 1578 p:nth-child(4n+4) { color: purple; }</pre> |
| 1579 </div> |
| 1580 |
| 1581 <p>When <var>a</var>=0, no repeating is used, so for example |
| 1582 <code>:nth-child(0n+5)</code> matches only the fifth child. When |
| 1583 <var>a</var>=0, the <var>a</var><code>n</code> part need not be |
| 1584 included, so the syntax simplifies to |
| 1585 <code>:nth-child(<var>b</var>)</code> and the last example simplifies |
| 1586 to <code>:nth-child(5)</code>. |
| 1587 |
| 1588 <div class="example"> |
| 1589 <p>Examples:</p> |

| 1592 </div> |
| 1593 |

| 1602 bar /* same but lower specificity (0,0,1) */</pre> |
| 1603 </div> |
| 1604 |
| 1605 <p>If <var>b</var>=0, then every <var>a</var>th element is picked. In |
| 1606 such a case, the <var>b</var> part may be omitted. |
| 1607 |
| 1608 <div class="example"> |
| 1609 <p>Examples:</p> |

| 1612 </div> |
| 1613 |
| 1614 <p>If both <var>a</var> and <var>b</var> are equal to zero, the |
| 1615 pseudo-class represents no element in the document tree.</p> |
| 1616 |
| 1617 <p>The value <var>a</var> can be negative, but only the positive |
| 1618 values of <var>a</var><code>n</code>+<var>b</var>, for |

| 1831 <p>The negation pseudo-class, <code>:not(<var>X</var>)</code>, is a |
| 1832 functional notation taking a <a href="#simple-selectors-dfn">simple |

| 1834 pseudo-elements) as an argument. It represents an element that is not |
| 1835 represented by the argument. |
| 1836 |
| 1837 <!-- pseudo-elements are not simple selectors, so the above paragraph |
| 1838 may be a bit confusing --> |
| 1839 |
| 1840 <div class="example"> |
| 1841 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 1842 <p>The following CSS selector matches all <code>button</code> |
| 1843 elements in an HTML document that are not disabled.</p> |
| 1844 <pre>button:not([DISABLED])</pre> |
| 1845 <p>The following selector represents all but <code>FOO</code> |

| 1853 <p>Default namespace declarations do not affect the argument of the |

| 1866 hovered, and elements not in the default namespace don't match the |
| 1867 rule when they <em>are</em> being hovered.</p> |
| 1868 <pre>*|*:not(:hover)</pre> |
| 1869 </div> |
| 1870 |
| 1871 <p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: the :not() pseudo allows |
| 1872 useless selectors to be written. For instance <code>:not(*|*)</code>, |
| 1873 which represents no element at all, or <code>foo:not(bar)</code>, |
| 1874 which is equivalent to <code>foo</code> but with a higher |
| 1875 specificity.</p> |
| 1876 |
| 1877 <h3><a name=pseudo-elements>7. Pseudo-elements</a></h3> |
| 1878 |
| 1879 <p>Pseudo-elements create abstractions about the document tree beyond |
| 1880 those specified by the document language. For instance, document |
| 1881 languages do not offer mechanisms to access the first letter or first |
| 1882 line of an element's content. Pseudo-elements allow designers to refer |
| 1883 to this otherwise inaccessible information. Pseudo-elements may also |
| 1884 provide designers a way to refer to content that does not exist in the |
| 1885 source document (e.g., the <code>::before</code> and |
| 1886 <code>::after</code> pseudo-elements give access to generated |
| 1887 content).</p> |
| 1888 |
| 1889 <p>A pseudo-element is made of two colons (<code>::</code>) followed |
| 1890 by the name of the pseudo-element.</p> |
| 1891 |
| 1892 <p>This <code>::</code> notation is introduced by the current document |
| 1893 in order to establish a discrimination between pseudo-classes and |
| 1894 pseudo-elements. For compatibility with existing style sheets, user |
| 1895 agents must also accept the previous one-colon notation for |
| 1896 pseudo-elements introduced in CSS levels 1 and 2 (namely, |
| 1897 <code>:first-line</code>, <code>:first-letter</code>, |
| 1898 <code>:before</code> and <code>:after</code>). This compatibility is |
| 1899 not allowed for the new pseudo-elements introduced in CSS level 3.</p> |
| 1900 |
| 1901 <p>Only one pseudo-element may appear per selector, and if present it |
| 1902 must appear after the sequence of simple selectors that represents the |
| 1903 <a href="#subject">subjects</a> of the selector. <span class="note">A |
| 1904 future version of this specification may allow multiple |
| 1905 pesudo-elements per selector.</span></p> |

| 1907 <h4><a name=first-line>7.1. The ::first-line pseudo-element</a></h4> |
| 1908 |
| 1909 <p>The <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element describes the contents |
| 1910 of the first formatted line of an element. |
| 1911 |
| 1912 <div class="example"> |
| 1913 <p>CSS example:</p> |
| 1914 <pre>p::first-line { text-transform: uppercase }</pre> |
| 1915 <p>The above rule means "change the letters of the first line of every |
| 1916 paragraph to uppercase".</p> |
| 1917 </div> |
| 1918 |
| 1919 <p>The selector <code>p::first-line</code> does not match any real |
| 1920 HTML element. It does match a pseudo-element that conforming user |
| 1921 agents will insert at the beginning of every paragraph.</p> |
| 1922 |
| 1923 <p>Note that the length of the first line depends on a number of |
| 1924 factors, including the width of the page, the font size, etc. Thus, |
| 1925 an ordinary HTML paragraph such as:</p> |
| 1926 |
| 1927 <pre> |
| 1928 <P>This is a somewhat long HTML |
| 1929 paragraph that will be broken into several |
| 1930 lines. The first line will be identified |
| 1931 by a fictional tag sequence. The other lines |
| 1932 will be treated as ordinary lines in the |
| 1933 paragraph.</P> |

| 1936 <p>the lines of which happen to be broken as follows: |
| 1937 |
| 1938 <pre> |
| 1939 THIS IS A SOMEWHAT LONG HTML PARAGRAPH THAT |
| 1940 will be broken into several lines. The first |
| 1941 line will be identified by a fictional tag |
| 1942 sequence. The other lines will be treated as |
| 1943 ordinary lines in the paragraph. |
| 1944 </pre> |
| 1945 |
| 1946 <p>This paragraph might be "rewritten" by user agents to include the |
| 1947 <em>fictional tag sequence</em> for <code>::first-line</code>. This |
| 1948 fictional tag sequence helps to show how properties are inherited.</p> |
| 1949 |
| 1950 <pre> |
| 1951 <P><b><P::first-line></b> This is a somewhat long HTML |
| 1952 paragraph that <b></P::first-line></b> will be broken into several |

| 1955 will be treated as ordinary lines in the |
| 1956 paragraph.</P> |
| 1957 </pre> |
| 1958 |
| 1959 <p>If a pseudo-element breaks up a real element, the desired effect |
| 1960 can often be described by a fictional tag sequence that closes and |
| 1961 then re-opens the element. Thus, if we mark up the previous paragraph |
| 1962 with a <code>span</code> element:</p> |
| 1963 |
| 1964 <pre> |
| 1965 <P><b><SPAN class="test"></b> This is a somewhat long HTML |
| 1966 paragraph that will be broken into several |

| 1968 by a fictional tag sequence. The other lines |
| 1969 will be treated as ordinary lines in the |
| 1970 paragraph.</P> |
| 1971 </pre> |
| 1972 |
| 1973 <p>the user agent could simulate start and end tags for |
| 1974 <code>span</code> when inserting the fictional tag sequence for |
| 1975 <code>::first-line</code>. |
| 1976 |
| 1977 <pre> |
| 1978 <P><P::first-line><b><SPAN class="test"></b> This is a |
| 1979 somewhat long HTML |

| 1986 </pre> |
| 1987 |
| 1988 <p>In CSS, the <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element can only be |
| 1989 attached to a block-level element, an inline-block, a table-caption, |
| 1990 or a table-cell.</p> |
| 1991 |
| 1992 <p><a name="first-formatted-line"></a>The "first formatted line" of an |
| 1993 element may occur inside a |
| 1994 block-level descendant in the same flow (i.e., a block-level |
| 1995 descendant that is not positioned and not a float). E.g., the first |
| 1996 line of the <code>div</code> in <code><DIV><P>This |
| 1997 line...</P></DIV></code> is the first line of the <code>p</code> (assuming |
| 1998 that both <code>p</code> and <code>div</code> are block-level). |
| 1999 |
| 2000 <p>The first line of a table-cell or inline-block cannot be the first |
| 2001 formatted line of an ancestor element. Thus, in <code><DIV><P |
| 2002 STYLE="display: inline-block">Hello<BR>Goodbye</P> |
| 2003 etcetera</DIV></code> the first formatted line of the |
| 2004 <code>div</code> is not the line "Hello". |
| 2005 |
| 2006 <p class="note">Note that the first line of the <code>p</code> in this |
| 2007 fragment: <code><p><br>First...</code> doesn't contain any |
| 2008 letters (assuming the default style for <code>br</code> in HTML |
| 2009 4). The word "First" is not on the first formatted line. |
| 2010 |
| 2011 <p>A UA should act as if the fictional start tags of the |
| 2012 <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-elements were nested just inside the |
| 2013 innermost enclosing block-level element. (Since CSS1 and CSS2 were |
| 2014 silent on this case, authors should not rely on this behavior.) Here |
| 2015 is an example. The fictional tag sequence for</p> |

| 2032 |
| 2033 <p>The <code>::first-line</code> pseudo-element is similar to an |
| 2034 inline-level element, but with certain restrictions. In CSS, the |
| 2035 following properties apply to a <code>::first-line</code> |
| 2036 pseudo-element: font properties, color property, background |
| 2037 properties, 'word-spacing', 'letter-spacing', 'text-decoration', |
| 2038 'vertical-align', 'text-transform', 'line-height'. UAs may apply other |
| 2039 properties as well.</p> |
| 2040 |
| 2041 |
| 2042 <h4><a name=first-letter>7.2. The ::first-letter pseudo-element</a></h4> |
| 2043 |
| 2044 <p>The <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element represents the first |
| 2045 letter of the first line of a block, if it is not preceded by any |
| 2046 other content (such as images or inline tables) on its line. The |
| 2047 ::first-letter pseudo-element may be used for "initial caps" and "drop |
| 2048 caps", which are common typographical effects. This type of initial |
| 2049 letter is similar to an inline-level element if its 'float' property |
| 2050 is 'none'; otherwise, it is similar to a floated element.</p> |
| 2051 |
| 2052 <p>In CSS, these are the properties that apply to <code>::first-letter</code> |
| 2053 pseudo-elements: font properties, 'text-decoration', 'text-transform', |
| 2054 'letter-spacing', 'word-spacing' (when appropriate), 'line-height', |
| 2055 'float', 'vertical-align' (only if 'float' is 'none'), margin |
| 2056 properties, padding properties, border properties, color property, |
| 2057 background properties. UAs may apply other properties as well. To |
| 2058 allow UAs to render a typographically correct drop cap or initial cap, |
| 2059 the UA may choose a line-height, width and height based on the shape |
| 2060 of the letter, unlike for normal elements.</p> |
| 2061 |
| 2062 <div class="example"> |
| 2063 <p>Example:</p> |
| 2064 <p>This example shows a possible rendering of an initial cap. Note |
| 2065 that the 'line-height' that is inherited by the <code>::first-letter</code> |
| 2066 pseudo-element is 1.1, but the UA in this example has computed the |
| 2067 height of the first letter differently, so that it doesn't cause any |
| 2068 unnecessary space between the first two lines. Also note that the |
| 2069 fictional start tag of the first letter is inside the <span>span</span>, and thu

| 2171 |
| 2172 <p>The first letter of a table-cell or inline-block cannot be the |
| 2173 first letter of an ancestor element. Thus, in <code><DIV><P |
| 2174 STYLE="display: inline-block">Hello<BR>Goodbye</P> |
| 2175 etcetera</DIV></code> the first letter of the <code>div</code> is not the |
| 2176 letter "H". In fact, the <code>div</code> doesn't have a first letter. |
| 2177 |
| 2178 <p>The first letter must occur on the <a |
| 2179 href="#first-formatted-line">first formatted line.</a> For example, in |
| 2180 this fragment: <code><p><br>First...</code> the first line |
| 2181 doesn't contain any letters and <code>::first-letter</code> doesn't |
| 2182 match anything (assuming the default style for <code>br</code> in HTML |
| 2183 4). In particular, it does not match the "F" of "First." |
| 2184 |
| 2185 <p>In CSS, if an element is a list item ('display: list-item'), the |
| 2186 <code>::first-letter</code> applies to the first letter in the |
| 2187 principal box after the marker. UAs may ignore |
| 2188 <code>::first-letter</code> on list items with 'list-style-position: |
| 2189 inside'. If an element has <code>::before</code> or |
| 2190 <code>::after</code> content, the <code>::first-letter</code> applies |
| 2191 to the first letter of the element <em>including</em> that content. |
| 2192 |
| 2193 <div class="example"> |
| 2194 <p>Example:</p> |
| 2195 <p>After the rule 'p::before {content: "Note: "}', the selector |
| 2196 'p::first-letter' matches the "N" of "Note".</p> |
| 2197 </div> |
| 2198 |
| 2199 <p>Some languages may have specific rules about how to treat certain |
| 2200 letter combinations. In Dutch, for example, if the letter combination |
| 2201 "ij" appears at the beginning of a word, both letters should be |
| 2202 considered within the <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-element. |
| 2203 |
| 2204 <p>If the letters that would form the ::first-letter are not in the |
| 2205 same element, such as "'T" in <code><p>'<em>T...</code>, the UA |
| 2206 may create a ::first-letter pseudo-element from one of the elements, |
| 2207 both elements, or simply not create a pseudo-element.</p> |
| 2208 |
| 2209 <p>Similarly, if the first letter(s) of the block are not at the start |
| 2210 of the line (for example due to bidirectional reordering), then the UA |
| 2211 need not create the pseudo-element(s). |
| 2212 |
| 2213 <div class="example"> |
| 2214 <p>Example:</p> |
| 2215 <p><a name="overlapping-example">The following example</a> illustrates |
| 2216 how overlapping pseudo-elements may interact. The first letter of |
| 2217 each P element will be green with a font size of '24pt'. The rest of |
| 2218 the first formatted line will be 'blue' while the rest of the |
| 2219 paragraph will be 'red'.</p> |
| 2220 |
| 2221 <pre>p { color: red; font-size: 12pt } |
| 2222 p::first-letter { color: green; font-size: 200% } |
| 2223 p::first-line { color: blue } |
| 2224 |
| 2225 <P>Some text that ends up on two lines</P></pre> |
| 2226 |
| 2227 <p>Assuming that a line break will occur before the word "ends", the |
| 2228 <span class="index-inst" title="fictional tag sequence">fictional tag |
| 2229 sequence</span> for this fragment might be:</p> |
| 2230 |
| 2231 <pre><P> |

| 2233 <P::first-letter> |
| 2234 S |

| 2236 </P::first-line> |
| 2237 ends up on two lines |
| 2238 </P></pre> |
| 2239 |
| 2240 <p>Note that the <code>::first-letter</code> element is inside the <code>::first
-line</code> |
| 2241 element. Properties set on <code>::first-line</code> are inherited by |
| 2242 <code>::first-letter</code>, but are overridden if the same property is set on |
| 2243 <code>::first-letter</code>.</p> |

| 2247 <h4><a name=UIfragments>7.3.</a> <a name=selection>The ::selection pseudo-elemen
t</a></h4> |
| 2248 |
| 2249 <p>The <code>::selection</code> pseudo-element applies to the portion |
| 2250 of a document that has been highlighted by the user. This also |
| 2251 applies, for example, to selected text within an editable text |
| 2252 field. This pseudo-element should not be confused with the <code><a |
| 2253 href="#checked">:checked</a></code> pseudo-class (which used to be |
| 2254 named <code>:selected</code>) |
| 2255 |
| 2256 <p>Although the <code>::selection</code> pseudo-element is dynamic in |
| 2257 nature, and is altered by user action, it is reasonable to expect that |
| 2258 when a UA re-renders to a static medium (such as a printed page, see |
| 2259 <a href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a>) which was originally rendered to a |
| 2260 dynamic medium (like screen), the UA may wish to transfer the current |
| 2261 <code>::selection</code> state to that other medium, and have all the |
| 2262 appropriate formatting and rendering take effect as well. This is not |
| 2263 required — UAs may omit the <code>::selection</code> |
| 2264 pseudo-element for static media. |
| 2265 |
| 2266 <p>These are the CSS properties that apply to <code>::selection</code> |
| 2267 pseudo-elements: color, background, cursor (optional), outline |
| 2268 (optional). The computed value of the 'background-image' property on |
| 2269 <code>::selection</code> may be ignored. |
| 2270 |
| 2271 |
| 2272 <h4><a name=gen-content>7.4. The ::before and ::after pseudo-elements</a></h4> |
| 2273 |
| 2274 <p>The <code>::before</code> and <code>::after</code> pseudo-elements |
| 2275 can be used to describe generated content before or after an element's |
| 2276 content. They are explained in CSS 2.1 <a |
| 2277 href="#refsCSS21">[CSS21]</a>.</p> |
| 2278 |
| 2279 <p>When the <code>::first-letter</code> and <code>::first-line</code> |
| 2280 pseudo-elements are combined with <code>::before</code> and |
| 2281 <code>::after</code>, they apply to the first letter or line of the |
| 2282 element including the inserted text.</p> |

| 2284 <h2><a name=combinators>8. Combinators</a></h2> |
| 2285 |
| 2286 <h3><a name=descendant-combinators>8.1. Descendant combinator</a></h3> |
| 2287 |
| 2288 <p>At times, authors may want selectors to describe an element that is |
| 2289 the descendant of another element in the document tree (e.g., "an |
| 2290 <code>EM</code> element that is contained within an <code>H1</code> |
| 2291 element"). Descendant combinators express such a relationship. A |
| 2292 descendant combinator is <a href="#whitespace">white space</a> that |
| 2293 separates two sequences of simple selectors. A selector of the form |
| 2294 "<code>A B</code>" represents an element <code>B</code> that is an |
| 2295 arbitrary descendant of some ancestor element <code>A</code>. |
| 2296 |
| 2297 <div class="example"> |
| 2298 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 2299 <p>For example, consider the following selector:</p> |
| 2300 <pre>h1 em</pre> |
| 2301 <p>It represents an <code>em</code> element being the descendant of |
| 2302 an <code>h1</code> element. It is a correct and valid, but partial, |
| 2303 description of the following fragment:</p> |
| 2304 <pre><h1>This <span class="myclass">headline |
| 2305 is <em>very</em> important</span></h1></pre> |
| 2306 <p>The following selector:</p> |
| 2307 <pre>div * p</pre> |
| 2308 <p>represents a <code>p</code> element that is a grandchild or later |
| 2309 descendant of a <code>div</code> element. Note the whitespace on |
| 2310 either side of the "*" is not part of the universal selector; the |
| 2311 whitespace is a combinator indicating that the DIV must be the |
| 2312 ancestor of some element, and that that element must be an ancestor |
| 2313 of the P.</p> |
| 2314 <p>The following selector, which combines descendant combinators and |
| 2315 <a href="#attribute-selectors">attribute selectors</a>, represents an |
| 2316 element that (1) has the <code>href</code> attribute set and (2) is |
| 2317 inside a <code>p</code> that is itself inside a <code>div</code>:</p> |
| 2318 <pre>div p *[href]</pre> |
| 2319 </div> |
| 2320 |
| 2321 <h3><a name=child-combinators>8.2. Child combinators</a></h3> |
| 2322 |
| 2323 <p>A <dfn>child combinator</dfn> describes a childhood relationship |
| 2324 between two elements. A child combinator is made of the |
| 2325 "greater-than sign" (<code>></code>) character and |
| 2326 separates two sequences of simple selectors. |
| 2327 |
| 2328 |
| 2329 <div class="example"> |
| 2330 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 2331 <p>The following selector represents a <code>p</code> element that is |
| 2332 child of <code>body</code>:</p> |
| 2333 <pre>body > p</pre> |
| 2334 <p>The following example combines descendant combinators and child |
| 2335 combinators.</p> |
| 2336 <pre>div ol>li p</pre><!-- LEAVE THOSE SPACES OUT! see below --> |
| 2337 <p>It represents a <code>p</code> element that is a descendant of an |
| 2338 <code>li</code> element; the <code>li</code> element must be the |
| 2339 child of an <code>ol</code> element; the <code>ol</code> element must |
| 2340 be a descendant of a <code>div</code>. Notice that the optional white |
| 2341 space around the ">" combinator has been left out.</p> |
| 2342 </div> |
| 2343 |
| 2344 <p>For information on selecting the first child of an element, please |
| 2345 see the section on the <code><a |
| 2346 href="#structural-pseudos">:first-child</a></code> pseudo-class |
| 2347 above.</p> |
| 2348 |
| 2349 <h3><a name=sibling-combinators>8.3. Sibling combinators</a></h3> |
| 2350 |
| 2351 <p>There are two different sibling combinators: the adjacent sibling |
| 2352 combinator and the general sibling combinator. In both cases, |
| 2353 non-element nodes (e.g. text between elements) are ignored when |
| 2354 considering adjacency of elements.</p> |
| 2355 |
| 2356 <h4><a name=adjacent-sibling-combinators>8.3.1. Adjacent sibling combinator</a><
/h4> |
| 2357 |
| 2358 <p>The adjacent sibling combinator is made of the "plus |
| 2359 sign" (U+002B, <code>+</code>) character that separates two |
| 2360 sequences of simple selectors. The elements represented by the two |
| 2361 sequences share the same parent in the document tree and the element |
| 2362 represented by the first sequence immediately precedes the element |
| 2363 represented by the second one.</p> |
| 2364 |
| 2365 <div class="example"> |
| 2366 <p>Examples:</p> |
| 2367 <p>The following selector represents a <code>p</code> element |
| 2368 immediately following a <code>math</code> element:</p> |
| 2369 <pre>math + p</pre> |
| 2370 <p>The following selector is conceptually similar to the one in the |
| 2371 previous example, except that it adds an attribute selector — it |
| 2372 adds a constraint to the <code>h1</code> element, that it must have |
| 2373 <code>class="opener"</code>:</p> |
| 2374 <pre>h1.opener + h2</pre> |
| 2375 </div> |

| 2378 <h4><a name=general-sibling-combinators>8.3.2. General sibling combinator</a></h
4> |
| 2379 |
| 2380 <p>The general sibling combinator is made of the "tilde" |
| 2381 (U+007E, <code>~</code>) character that separates two sequences of |
| 2382 simple selectors. The elements represented by the two sequences share |
| 2383 the same parent in the document tree and the element represented by |
| 2384 the first sequence precedes (not necessarily immediately) the element |
| 2385 represented by the second one.</p> |
| 2386 |
| 2387 <div class="example"> |
| 2388 <p>Example:</p> |
| 2389 <pre>h1 ~ pre</pre> |
| 2390 <p>represents a <code>pre</code> element following an <code>h1</code>. It |
| 2391 is a correct and valid, but partial, description of:</p> |
| 2392 <pre><h1>Definition of the function a</h1> |
| 2393 <p>Function a(x) has to be applied to all figures in the table.</p> |

| 2396 |
| 2397 <h2><a name=specificity>9. Calculating a selector's specificity</a></h2> |
| 2398 |
| 2399 <p>A selector's specificity is calculated as follows:</p> |
| 2400 |
| 2401 <ul> |
| 2402 <li>count the number of ID selectors in the selector (= a)</li> |
| 2403 <li>count the number of class selectors, attributes selectors, and pseudo-clas
ses in the selector (= b)</li> |
| 2404 <li>count the number of element names in the selector (= c)</li> |
| 2405 <li>ignore pseudo-elements</li> |
| 2406 </ul> |
| 2407 |
| 2408 <p>Selectors inside <a href="#negation">the negation pseudo-class</a> |
| 2409 are counted like any other, but the negation itself does not count as |
| 2410 a pseudo-class.</p> |
| 2411 |
| 2412 <p>Concatenating the three numbers a-b-c (in a number system with a |
| 2413 large base) gives the specificity.</p> |
| 2414 |
| 2415 <div class="example"> |
| 2416 <p>Examples:</p> |

| 2605 CSS by their URI as well. Without such a mechanism, it is impossible |
| 2606 to construct a CSS style sheet which will properly match selectors in |
| 2607 all cases against a random set of XML documents. However, given |
| 2608 complete knowledge of the XML document to which a style sheet is to be |
| 2609 applied, and a limited use of namespaces within the XML document, it |
| 2610 is possible to construct a style sheet in which selectors would match |
| 2611 elements and attributes correctly.</p> |
| 2612 |
| 2613 <p>It should be noted that a down-level CSS client will (if it |
| 2614 properly conforms to CSS forward compatible parsing rules) ignore all |
| 2615 <code>@namespace</code> at-rules, as well as all style rules that make |
| 2616 use of namespace qualified element type or attribute selectors. The |
| 2617 syntax of delimiting namespace prefixes in CSS was deliberately chosen |
| 2618 so that down-level CSS clients would ignore the style rules rather |
| 2619 than possibly match them incorrectly.</p> |
| 2620 |
| 2621 <p>The use of default namespaces in CSS makes it possible to write |
| 2622 element type selectors that will function in both namespace aware CSS |
| 2623 clients as well as down-level clients. It should be noted that |
| 2624 down-level clients may incorrectly match selectors against XML |
| 2625 elements in other namespaces.</p> |
| 2626 |
| 2627 <p>The following are scenarios and examples in which it is possible to |
| 2628 construct style sheets which would function properly in web clients |
| 2629 that do not implement this proposal.</p> |
| 2630 |
| 2631 <ol> |
| 2632 <li> |
| 2633 |
| 2634 <p>The XML document does not use namespaces.</p> |
| 2635 |
| 2636 <ul> |
| 2637 |
| 2638 <li>In this case, it is obviously not necessary to declare or use |
| 2639 namespaces in the style sheet. Standard CSS element type and |
| 2640 attribute selectors will function adequately in a down-level |
| 2641 client.</li> |
| 2642 |
| 2643 <li>In a CSS namespace aware client, the default behavior of |
| 2644 element selectors matching without regard to namespace will |
| 2645 function properly against all elements, since no namespaces are |
| 2646 present. However, the use of specific element type selectors that |
| 2647 match only elements that have no namespace ("<code>|name</code>") |
| 2648 will guarantee that selectors will match only XML elements that do |
| 2649 not have a declared namespace. </li> |
| 2650 |
| 2651 </ul> |
| 2652 |
| 2653 </li> |
| 2654 |
| 2655 <li> |
| 2656 |
| 2657 <p>The XML document defines a single, default namespace used |
| 2658 throughout the document. No namespace prefixes are used in element |
| 2659 names.</p> |
| 2660 |
| 2661 <ul> |
| 2662 |
| 2663 <li>In this case, a down-level client will function as if |
| 2664 namespaces were not used in the XML document at all. Standard CSS |
| 2665 element type and attribute selectors will match against all |
| 2666 elements. </li> |
| 2667 |
| 2668 </ul> |
| 2669 |
| 2670 </li> |
| 2671 |
| 2672 <li> |
| 2673 |
| 2674 <p>The XML document does <b>not</b> use a default namespace, all |
| 2675 namespace prefixes used are known to the style sheet author, and |
| 2676 there is a direct mapping between namespace prefixes and namespace |
| 2677 URIs. (A given prefix may only be mapped to one namespace URI |
| 2678 throughout the XML document; there may be multiple prefixes mapped |
| 2679 to the same URI).</p> |
| 2680 |
| 2681 <ul> |
| 2682 |
| 2683 <li>In this case, the down-level client will view and match |
| 2684 element type and attribute selectors based on their fully |
| 2685 qualified name, not the local part as outlined in the <a |
| 2686 href="#typenmsp">Type selectors and Namespaces</a> section. CSS |
| 2687 selectors may be declared using an escaped colon "<code>\:</code>" |
| 2688 to describe the fully qualified names, e.g. |
| 2689 "<code>html\:h1</code>" will match |
| 2690 <code><html:h1></code>. Selectors using the qualified name |
| 2691 will only match XML elements that use the same prefix. Other |
| 2692 namespace prefixes used in the XML that are mapped to the same URI |
| 2693 will not match as expected unless additional CSS style rules are |
| 2694 declared for them.</li> |
| 2695 |
| 2696 <li>Note that selectors declared in this fashion will |
| 2697 <em>only</em> match in down-level clients. A CSS namespace aware |
| 2698 client will match element type and attribute selectors based on |
| 2699 the name's local part. Selectors declared with the fully |
| 2700 qualified name will not match (unless there is no namespace prefix |
| 2701 in the fully qualified name).</li> |
| 2702 |
| 2703 </ul> |
| 2704 |
| 2705 </li> |
| 2706 |
| 2707 </ol> |
| 2708 |
| 2709 <p>In other scenarios: when the namespace prefixes used in the XML are |
| 2710 not known in advance by the style sheet author; or a combination of |
| 2711 elements with no namespace are used in conjunction with elements using |
| 2712 a default namespace; or the same namespace prefix is mapped to |
| 2713 <em>different</em> namespace URIs within the same document, or in |
| 2714 different documents; it is impossible to construct a CSS style sheet |
| 2715 that will function properly against all elements in those documents, |
| 2716 unless, the style sheet is written using a namespace URI syntax (as |
| 2717 outlined in this document or similar) and the document is processed by |
| 2718 a CSS and XML namespace aware client.</p> |

| 2860 |
| 2861 <p>This section defines conformance with the present specification only. |
| 2862 |
| 2863 <p>The inability of a user agent to implement part of this specification due to |
| 2864 the limitations of a particular device (e.g., non interactive user agents will |
| 2865 probably not implement dynamic pseudo-classes because they make no sense without |
| 2866 interactivity) does not imply non-conformance. |
| 2867 |
| 2868 <p>All specifications reusing Selectors must contain a <a |
| 2869 href="#profiling">Profile</a> listing the |
| 2870 subset of Selectors it accepts or excludes, and describing the constraints |
| 2871 it adds to the current specification. |
| 2872 |
| 2873 <p>Invalidity is caused by a parsing error, e.g. an unrecognized token or a toke
n |
| 2874 which is not allowed at the current parsing point. |
| 2875 |
| 2876 <p>User agents must observe the rules for handling parsing errors: |
| 2877 <ul> |
| 2878 <li>a simple selector containing an undeclared namespace prefix is invalid</li
> |
| 2879 <li>a selector containing an invalid simple selector, an invalid combinator |
| 2880 or an invalid token is invalid. </li> |
| 2881 <li>a group of selectors containing an invalid selector is invalid.</li> |
| 2882 </ul> |
| 2883 |
| 2884 <p class="foo test10 bar">Specifications reusing Selectors must define how to ha
ndle parsing |
| 2885 errors. (In the case of CSS, the entire rule in which the selector is |
| 2886 used is dropped.)</p> |
| 2887 |
| 2888 <!-- Apparently all these references are out of date: |
| 2889 <p>Implementations of this specification must behave as |
| 2890 "recipients of text data" as defined by <a href="#refsCWWW">[CWWW]</a> |
| 2891 when parsing selectors and attempting matches. (In particular, |
| 2892 implementations must assume the data is normalized and must not |
| 2893 normalize it.) Normative rules for matching strings are defined in |
| 2894 <a href="#refsCWWW">[CWWW]</a> and <a |
| 2895 href="#refsUNICODE">[UNICODE]</a> and apply to implementations of this |
| 2896 specification.</p>--> |
