[title=php]{border:5px solid blue;}

Attributes and value selectors - multiple values

The following example sets a style for all elements that contain a title attribute with a specified value. Applies to attribute values separated by whitespace:

[title~=hello] { color:red; }

The following example styles all elements with a lang attribute that contains the specified value. Applies to attribute values separated by hyphens:

[lang|=en] { color:red; }

Set the style of the form

Attribute selectors are used without Particularly useful when setting styles on forms of class or id:

input[type="text"]{ width:150px; display:block; margin-bottom:10px; background-color:yellow; font-family: Verdana, Arial; } input[type="button"]{ width:120px; margin-left:35px; display:block; font-family: Verdana, Arial; }
