I have a loop displaying some markup that has dynamic class names. Is it possible to hide all elements with duplicate class name besides the first instance? For example below I would only want the first .SomethingDynamic1 and the first .SomethingDynamic2 to be visible.
I think I might be able to use the div[class^="group"] "starts with" attribute selector to achieve this but am I able to match dynamic text after that and filter out the duplicates? I would prefer a CSS only solution if possible.
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic1">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic1">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic1">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic1">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic2">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic2">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic2">
<div class="group-SomethingDynamic2">
Update (credit #Temani Afif)
If you want a CSS only solution, you will need to know the classes to filter beforehand.
Given that, you can simply use a siblings selector like the following:
.group-SomethingDynamic1 ~ .group-SomethingDynamic1 {
display: none;
}
Here is a stackblitz example

Normally, CSS works by matching element names in the HTML:p.heading1 {} affects all elements of type p with class heading1.
Is there a way to display an object/text that only exists as an attribute?
For example, this is my HTML:
<body var="text I want to insert">
<div class="titlepage">
<p class="titlepagetext">this should also be displayed</p>
The title page has a number of <p> children. In addition to them, I want to display the content of body/var on the title page.
You can probably consider CSS variables. The custom property will get inherited by all the elements inside the body and you can use pseudo element to display it where you want:
.titlepage:before {
content:var(--var);
}
<body style="--var:'text I want to insert'">
<div class="titlepage">
<p class="titlepagetext">this should also be displayed</p>
</div>
</body>
AH Formatter has an -ah-attr-from() extension function that will let you get the contents of an ancestor's attribute (see https://www.antennahouse.com/product/ahf66/ahf-ext.html#attr-from).
You could use -ah-attr-from() in a rule for .titlepagetext::before.
When you using css, you can't target parent. There is no way to get parent selector. And content: "" can apply only for pseudo-classes.
Is there a way to to combine the css of two adjacent siblings? I have some code generated by some wordpress theme where I'd like to use css to modify.
For the code below, I would like to hide the p "hide-me" when the class "myclass" also was given a class name "john"
would like to have something like this:
(.first-sibling .myclass.john) ~ (.second-sibling .hide-me) {display:none;}
<div class="parent">
<div class="first-sibling">
<p class="myclass john">Paragrah to determine the hiding of hide-me</p>
</div>
<div class="second-sibling">
<p class="hide-me">Hide this if myclass has a class named "john" </p>
</div>
Thank you
To achieve what you are asking for with your current HTML you need to use Javascript. Your other option is if you can apply class john to the parrent then you can have CSS such as this and it would work:
.first-sibling.john + .second-sibling{
display: none;
}
Here is a JS Fiddle

You can also further manipulate HTML so that the two p elements are under same div and then further use CSS Selectors to accomplish this. For list of all CSS selectors you can view here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp
I have a <p>Example string</p> With some text inside. I want to use css to search for a word within that paragraph.
I know this is possible if you have e.g. All you have to do then is:
a[href*="test"]{}
But when I try to do this with my paragraph I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried:
[p*="string"]{}
p[*="string"]{}
The short answer is NO, this is not possible using CSS only, what you are using is element[attr=val] selector which only selects elements with that particular attribute with that specific values. You need to use jQuery or Javascript with a regex to track the pattern and apply styles to its elements.
On the other hand you can create custom attributes with a prefix of data- so for example you can do something like
<p data-custom="Holder Text">Want to change this</p>
<p data-custom="Holder Text">Want to change this</p>
<p data-custom="Holder Text 2">Dont Touch This</p>
p[data-custom="Holder Text"] {
color: red;
}
Demo
But again, this won't make sense here, you can simply assign the classes if you are aware what elements need to be changed.
You cannot this using CSS only, however you can check this blog post about how to achieve this using jQuery.
Basically you should use :contains selector:
$("p:contains('John')")
I'm learning in CSS, I am really confused when to use .(dot) and when to use # in CSS file. Sometimes I really wondered which one I should use.
#You are .Human
While there are many humans, there is only one you. As such, . is for classes, which can appear over and over in a document. # is for IDs, which are unique to a document.
<div class="firstname" id="personA">
<p class="lastname">Sampson</p>
</div>
<div class="firstname" id="personB">
<p class="lastname">Sampson</p>
</div>
Note the unique identifier for both div, personA and personB. However both elements have classes in common, such as .firstname, and .lastname.
Professional Examples
You can see how these are used out in the wild by looking at tools like Modernizr. This feature-detection tool assists you by adding classes to the <html> element that inform you as to what the device or browser is capable of:
<html lang="en" dir="ltr"
id="modernizrcom"
class="js no-touch postmessage history multiplebgs boxshadow...">
Here we see the one unique value for the <html> element, #modernizrcom. Following, a series of classes that give more general info about the element. This is a clear example of how an element can have only one id, but many classes.
Careful with those IDs!
Because these values are completely unique, they can cause you to paint yourself into a corner at times. It's worth reading Disallow IDs in Selectors to know more about the potential issues with using IDs in your selectors.
The # is used for the id of an element and . is used for classes of an element. In a HTML document, an id is unique (there should only be one element with that id) while classes can occur multiple times.
<div id="content" class="shade light">
</div>
You can now do:
#content { border: solid 1px black; }
to add styling to that particular div element. But you can also do:
.light { background-color: #eeeeee; }
The difference is that the latter will apply that background color to all elements with that class (i.e., all elements with the class light while the first CSS statement will only add styling to the element with the id content).
a dot (.) represents a class, a hash (#) represents an id.
There is more to it, but this is the gist:
An id (#myID) should be used when you only intend to use that selector once
A class (.myClass) should be used to create a reusable piece of styling code (e.g. to make text blue)
. is represent class
# is represent ID(but used only once in a page)
always the id is having the first priority in the race.
ex:
in the style
.alignmeleft{float:left;}
#alignmeright{float:right;}
in the html:
<div class="alignmeleft" id="alignmeright">
<!--div content-->
</div>
OUTPUT
THE DIV WILL ALIGNED RIGHSIDE
I have these divs that I'm styling with .tocolor, but I also need the unique identifier 1,2,3,4 etc. so I'm adding that it as another class tocolor-1.
<div class="tocolor tocolor-1"> tocolor 1 </div>
<div class="tocolor tocolor-2"> tocolor 2 </div>
<div class="tocolor tocolor-3"> tocolor 3 </div>
<div class="tocolor tocolor-4"> tocolor 4 </div>
.tocolor{
background: red;
}
Is there a way to have just 1 class tocolor-*. I tried using a wildcard * as in this css, but it didn't work.
.tocolor-*{
background: red;
}
What you need is called attribute selector. An example, using your html structure, is the following:
div[class^="tocolor-"], div[class*=" tocolor-"] {
color:red
}
In the place of div you can add any element or remove it altogether, and in the place of class you can add any attribute of the specified element.
[class^="tocolor-"] — starts with "tocolor-".
[class*=" tocolor-"] — contains the substring "tocolor-" occurring directly after a space character.

More information on CSS attribute selectors, you can find here and here.
And from MDN Docs MDN Docs
Yes you can do this.
*[id^='term-']{
[css here]
}
This will select all ids that start with 'term-'.
As for the reason for not doing this, I see where it would be preferable to select this way; as for style, I wouldn't do it myself, but it's possible.
An alternative solution:
div[class|='tocolor'] will match for values of the "class" attribute that begin with "tocolor-", including "tocolor-1", "tocolor-2", etc.
Beware that this won't match
<div class="foo tocolor-">
Reference:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#attribute-representation
[att|=val]
Represents an element with the att attribute, its value either being exactly "val" or beginning with "val" immediately followed by "-" (U+002D)
If you don't need the unique identifier for further styling of the divs and are using HTML5 you could try and go with custom Data Attributes. Read on here or try a google search for HTML5 Custom Data Attributes
