1. What is pseudo selectors?

Used to style specified parts of an element:

  1. Style the first letter, or line of an element
  2. Insert content before, or after the content of an element

2. Why you wanna use it?

  • Realize some fancy styling, like you want to highlight the first line or first character in an element
  • You want to insert some common element before/after each specific element

3. How to use it?

p::first-line {
  color: #ff0000;
  font-variant: small-caps;
}

p::first-letter {
  color: #ff0000;
  font-size: xx-large;
}

// you insert gif before every h1
h1::before {
  content: url(smiley.gif);
}

h1::after {
  content: url(smiley.gif);
}

::selection {
  color: red;
  background: yellow;
}

4. Tips

4.1 Double colon versus single

The double colon replaced the single-colon notation for pseudo-elements in CSS3. This was an attempt from W3C to distinguish between pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements.

The single-colon syntax was used for both pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements in CSS2 and CSS1.

For backward compatibility, the single-colon syntax is acceptable for CSS2 and CSS1 pseudo-elements.

*Please try to use single instead of double thus it could support almost all browsers *
