I am trying to get what I beleive is called target style to work if I use div[title] { background-color:#00FF66; } all is fine when <div title="mine"> but if I try [title] { background-color:#00FF66; } I cannot get it to work on any tag, yet I have read this should work similar to the .class selector What am I doing wrong?? > I am trying to get what I beleive is called target style to work if I use > div[title] That is an attribute selector. > all is fine when > <div title="mine"> > [title] > I cannot get it to work on any tag, yet I have read this should work > similar to the .class selector > What am I doing wrong?? Nothing as far as I can tell. It looks like a browser bug. Does *[title] work?  SignatureDavid Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/> Home is where the ~/.bashrc is >div[title] > > That is an attribute selector. Yes, and it is of a specific kind that tests for the presence of an attribute (explicitly in the markup, as opposite to implied attribute), ignoring its value. Attribute selectors are not supported by IE. This makes their usefulness questionable on the WWW at present. >>[title] > >>I cannot get it to work on any tag, yet I have read this should work >>similar to the .class selector On a browser that supports attribute selectors in the first place, such as Firefox, I have no difficulties with using [title] as a selector. >>What am I doing wrong?? > > Nothing as far as I can tell.

And don't you think it's wrong to set background color without setting content colors (and background image to none)? Surely it was just an example - but a bad example, and of the kind people actually use. Besides, using a selector that tests the presence of a title attribute sounds rather odd. There might be a reasonable reason, though, and that's one reason why I'm curious about the URL. >>div[title] That is an attribute selector. > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > sounds rather odd. There might be a reasonable reason, though, and that's > one reason why I'm curious about the URL. I am learning CSS so I had not put it up on a URL as of yet. I just learned that I can use [ ] and # not just the . on the end of a tag You are correct that it was a bad example, really it was a question. Why did it not work? If I create the following independant .two{font: 2px;};//Class selector #red{color: Red;}//ID selector [title]{color:Green;}//Attribute selector these work on div, p or any other tag. All except the Attribute selector which will not work I.E. <p class="two"> or <div class="two"> <!--works--> <p ID="red"> or <div ID="red"> <!--works--> <p title="myTitle"> or <div title="yourTitle"> <!--doesn't work--> Do you know why the Attribute selector will not work independently? I read that it will work independently just as will the Class and ID selectors. > Do you know why the Attribute selector will not work independently? I've just tested it, and it does. Thus, as I said previously, it is most likely a browser bug.

Thanks, I will start checking these things in more browsers ;-) >> Do you know why the Attribute selector will not work independently? > > I've just tested it, and it does. On some browsers, yes. > Thus, as I said previously, it is most likely a browser bug. I have no reason to suspect that any browser supports an attribute selector when combined with another selector but not as standalone. The OP probably misinterpreted the results of a test. We cannot help more without seeing the actual test. SignatureYucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ |
