How can I select the last element with a specific class, not last child inside of parent?
(8 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm trying to target the div with class "text" inside the last div with class "done".
For example:
<div class="installSteps">
<div class="insProgress done">
<div class="icon">Img</div>
<div class="text">Prep</div>
</div>
<div class="insProgress done">
<div class="icon">Img</div>
<div class="text">Check</div> < trying to target this
</div>
<div class="insProgress upcoming">
<div class="icon">Img</div>
<div class="text">Configure</div>
</div>
<div class="insProgress upcoming">
<div class="icon">Img</div>
<div class="text">Go!</div>
</div>
</div>
I tried all kinds of combinations of last-child and last-of-type to no avail. I really thought this would work:
.installSteps .done:last-child .text
Any way to do it?
EDIT: Adding some additional details...
The "done" class replaces the "upcoming" class as the processes complete. So it starts with all "upcoming" and then the first one gets "done" then the second one also has "done", then the third, then the fourth... (so I can't target a specific nth child)
So Im looking for a way of targeting the last instance of "done" wherever that may be...
Sorry for not specifying this earlier. i wish I could add an additional class but for now I am unable to...
Provided the hierarchy doesn't change, this works for me:
.installSteps div:nth-child(2) :last-child {
color:red;
}
jsFiddle example
If the hierarchy will change, then you're probably going to have to use JavaScript as you can't target classes of elements with CSS pseudo-classes, only elements.
You could do this
.installSteps .done:not(:first-child) .text {
color: red;
}
Will affect anything after first one.
JS Fiddle Demo
Try nth-child() applied to the .done class.
Example
.done:nth-child(2) .text{
background:red;
}

What does the ">" (greater-than sign) CSS selector mean?
(8 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In the following JSFiddle I have an example of attempting to not apply a style on an object that is inside a div with the class .k-grid.
In the given example the following line of code does not work as I expected.
As far as I understand CSS i'm saying: Every P object, that doesn't have the "fancy" class, and are not somewhere inside a div object with a .k-grid.
Since my given p object is inside a div with .k-grid, I dont expect it to turn green.. but it does.
<style>
form.editform div:not(.k-grid) p:not(.fancy) {
color: green;
}
</style>
<form class="editform">
<div>
<div class="k-grid">
<p>I am a paragraph.</p>
<p class="fancy">
<span class="notfancy">I am so very fancy!</span></p>
<div class="fancy">I am NOT a paragraph.</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
When I change form.editform div:not(.k-grid) p:not(.fancy) to form.editform div:not(.k-grid)>p:not(.fancy) it does properly exclude the p fancy from becoming green.
Can someone explain to me why a space does not work in removing the class from the object, while the > does work? As well as explain what the difference is between "descendents" and "children".
Descendents are children, and descendents of children (e.g. grandchildren, grand-grandchildren, etc). Your <span> is a descendant of <form>, but not a child of it.
In no case is <div class="k-grid"> getting matched to div:not(.k-grid).
Your selector is picking up <form class="editform"> as its form.editform, its descendant (and incidentally a child) <div> for div:not(.k-grid), and its descendant (more precisely, grandchild) <p> for p:not(.fancy). You can check that this is what is going on by changing <div> to e.g. <article>, and seeing the CSS rule stop having an effect.
When you change the last part of your selector to child selector, <p> cannot match because it is a grandchild of <div>.

Can I combine :nth-child() or :nth-of-type() with an arbitrary selector?

Closed 3 years ago.
I'm dynamically adding and removing classes to and from elements on specific JS events. What I would like to do is select the last child element that has none these classes with CSS.
Example #1
<container-element>
<h2></h2>
<div class='some-class'></div>
<div></div>
<div></div> <!-- select this div -->
</container-element>
Example #2
<container-element>
<h2></h2>
<div></div>
<div></div> <!-- select this div -->
<div class='some-class'></div>
</container-element>
Is it possible to write a CSS selector to do this?
Something like container-element > div:not(.select):last-of-type?
Per this answer, the solution would technically be container-element > div:nth-last-child(1 of :not(.select)).
However, this of S clause in :nth-last-child is still not supported by any browser other than Safari.
You're saying: select the last sibling that doesn't contain a class attribute.
I don't believe it's possible with currently available CSS.
You're asking a waterfall (the cascade) to run upward. The browser needs to check the last element, then check the ones that came before it. This is not how CSS works.
div:not(.some-class):last-of-type won't work because the browser doesn't move up automatically to the next sibling.
Of course I can do this with JS, but preferred a pure CSS solution. Supposedly a pure CSS solution is not possible, so the next best thing is an CSS solution with a little extra HTML.
The trick was to add a class, not-selected, to all of the elements, then remove this class from the element that you want to target with the CSS selector.
And the CSS selector would be div:not([class*='not-selected']).
div:not([class*='not-selected']) {
background: red;
}
<button type='button'>
<h2>title</h2>
<div class='not-selected'>option one</div>
<div>option two</div>
<div class='not-selected'>option three</div>
</button>
I have this html code:
<div id="mydiv">
[other divs]
<div data-day="1">content</div>
[other divs with data-day attribute]
<div data-day="random">content</div>
[other divs]
</div>
I wanna select the last element in the mydiv that has data-day attribute. How can I do this?
#mydiv div[data-day]:last-child
I tried this, but it didn't work.
There is no real css-only solution to your question. With Javascript you could do this, I guess.
last-child doesn't work, because it only works for the last element of its parent.
In your case: Only if it was the last element with no other element following it.
last-of-type doesn't work, because it only selects by types, not attributes or classes.
Workaround:
Add a class to the last element with a certain attribute by hand:
<div id="mydiv">
<div></div>
<div data-day="1">content</div>
<div></div>
<div data-day="random" class="last-data-day">content</div>
<div></div>
</div>
I have done a quick google search and found the following links useful:

The answer is:
:last-child only works when the element in question is the last child of the container, not the last of a specific type of element. For that, you want :last-of-type

I am trying to define styling for second sibling's child element based of first sibling's class.
Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve
<div >
<div class="one">
<div class="find edit">
Find me
</div>
</div>
<div class="two">
<div class="change">
Change me
</div>
</div>
</div>
In this example, I want "Change me" to be green if "edit" class is found. Is it possible to achieve this purely based on css?
Help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Medha
As far as I know, it's not possible to access the parent selector (I wish it was). If you could consider this structure, it'll be no problem at all:
HTML
<div>
<div class="one edit">
<div class="find">
Find me
</div>
</div>
<div class="two">
<div class="change">
Change me
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.one.edit + .two .change { color: green; }
If not, you could easily accomplish what you're after with a little JavaScript.
Here You can find answer:
Complex CSS selector for parent of active child
Short answer copied from link:
Selectors are unable to ascend
CSS offers no way to select a parent or ancestor of element that
satisfies certain criteria. A more advanced selector scheme (such as
XPath) would enable more sophisticated stylesheets. However, the major
reasons for the CSS Working Group rejecting proposals for parent
selectors are related to browser performance and incremental rendering
issues.
Update:
Now I notice the edit class required in the child. You cannot.
simply you need something like a parent selector, and this doesn't exist in CSS 3, it's suggested in CSS 4 though, but that's far from happening any time soon.

CSS selector for "foo that contains bar"?

Original:
Depending on which browsers you care about, this may work:
div.one + div.two > div.change {
color: green;
}

I'm trying to have some css applied for the first div with id=div1. When I do .alldivs:first, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
<div class="alldivs">
<div class="onediv" id="div1">
</div>
<div class="onediv" id="div2">
</div>
<div class="onediv" id="div3">
</div>
</div>
If you want to select the first child: .alldivs>:first-child should do the trick.
Edit:
Su edited my post to say .alldivs:first-child. This actually isn't right and I've restored it to what I originally put. The :first-child syntax selects the first child of its parent that matches the selector immediately previous to the colon. Therefore, p:first-child would match any paragraph that was the first child of its parent. Thus, .alldivs> matches any child of .alldivs and :first-child matches the first one. Please make sure you're correct before editing others posts.
What you want is:
.alldivs div:first-child
If the div has an id already, just select it by id.
#div1 {
/* yes that's all you need */
}
There's no such thing as two elements with the same id (if you're paying attention to the rules), so it doesn't matter if it's first or thirty-first.
If you're looking for the first div no matter what the id, use .alldivs :first-child
Here's some reference for further understanding:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-child
.alldivs is not a selector, if you wanted to select the first div in the dom it would be div:first-child or if you wanted to select the first div with the class onediv it would be .onediv:first-child
I hope this helps you
