Is there some kind of .this selector in css?
Or maybe parent selector?
Thanks
There is no parent selector existing in CSS.
The only thing existing that comes somehow near to that is this:
a < img { border: none; }
But this is not a parent selector. This would select a tags but only if they contained an img tag.
There is no parent selector in CSS. See Is there a CSS parent selector?.
Why would you need a this selector? It would be redundant, because it implies you have already selected the target element.
well, I don't know if you mean this, but you can always start from the "parent" element, and then go deeper... e.g.
div#main_div div#sub_div1 div#sub_div2 span a {
/* your style here */
}
your style will then apply to the a-element. However, only if you have this order (sub_div2 has to be in sub_div1, which has to be in main_div) in your html code as well...

Is there a way to make a CSS Selector that matches the following?
All OBJECT elements
which have a PARAM element inside of them
The selector
OBJECT PARAM
doesn't work, as it matches the PARAM, not the OBJECT. I'd like to apply { display:none } to the objects; it's useless to apply that to the PARAMs.
(I'm aware I could pull this off with jQuery - $("object param").closest("object") - and VanillaJS - document.querySelector("object param").closest("object") - but I'm trying to create CSS rules on a page.)
To select all OBJECT containing PARAM, in CSS:
OBJECT:has(PARAM)
To select all OBJECT having a direct child PARAM, in CSS:
OBJECT:has(> PARAM)
No, what you are looking for would be called a parent selector. CSS has none; they have been proposed multiple times but I know of no existing or forthcoming standard including them. You are correct that you would need to use something like jQuery or use additional class annotations to achieve the effect you want.

Is there a CSS parent selector?
CSS Parent/Ancestor Selector
Complex CSS selector for parent of active child
Only thing that comes even close is the :contains pseudo class in CSS3, but that only selects textual content, not tags or elements, so you're out of luck.
A simpler way to select a parent with specific children in jQuery can be written as (with :has()):
$('#parent:has(#child)');
Is there any way you could programatically apply a class to the object?
<object class="hasparams">
then do
object.hasparams

I was wondering if there is a CSS-only way of styling an element based on it's child?
In my present situation, i've got an ul with a lot of li's in it. None of them have a separate identifying class, but only one of them got an iFrame (youtube video) inside of it. That li item, I want to style.
The CSS would somewhat be like
ul li:child-is[iframe] {
// styling
}
Is this possible?
Not today.
In the next occurrence of CSS, CSS4, you'll be able to precise the subject in a selector using an exclamation mark :
ul !li iframe {
// styling applies to the li element
}
but there's no pure CSS solution today.

Is there a way to write css so it would select a div above a selector you already known.
For example.
#modal .container .login{
//style
}
so the above code will look for an ID of modal > classname of container > classname of login.
And style the .login.
Now is is possible to have it go the reverse. So style the #modal only if it has a child of .login and .container
Thanks
Short answer? no. (in the current CSS spec) as already answered here.
Is there a CSS parent selector?
but, I can give you a little trick.
create a special CSS rule (a class) with your special styling for the 'parent'.
then, with JQuery, on document.ready, check for all the elements in the DOM who meets your requirement (in your case: has a child of some class), and dynamically add the special CSS class.
It's not a perfect solution, but can be helpful in some cases.

CSS - Is it possible to select multiple different child elements within a parent without repeating the parent?
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am writing some rules in CSS for some elements that shares the same parent.
#parent_id li
#parent_id label,
#parent_id input,
#parent_id select { ... }
Is there an alternative syntax to avoid to repeat the parent id?
No there is not in pure CSS, but you can use some CSS preprocessor like:
LESS CSS http://lesscss.org/
Sass http://sass-lang.com/
Switch CSS http://sourceforge.net/projects/switchcss/
...or other
If those elements you're selecting are all the elements within the parent element, you could just apply the style to the parent element:
#parent_id {
....
}
Styles in there should be inherited down so that the elements inside it are get those styles as well.
Another option might be to use the universal * selector:
#parent_id * {
....
}
This will affect all elements at least one level below the parent_id element, but not parent_id itself. If you've got plain text in parent_id that you want to leave unaffected, this might be the one to use.
A third option would be to change your HTML markup so that the elements you want to affect have a class. Then your CSS could simply reference that class instead.
(btw - yes, I'm aware of LESS/SASS/etc, but I didn't think there was much value in posting the same answer as everone else)
CSS native dont support this. But you can use SASS/LESS:
#parent_id {
label, input, select { ... }
}
In simple css it is not possible. Try LESS to achieve this.
