Why does input not support pseudo elements?

Input does not support pseudo elements because input is a self-closing tag with no content. Pseudo elements can be used to insert generated content before or after the content of the element, but the input element is a form control used to receive user input. Its content is input by the user and cannot be generated or styled through CSS. Therefore, the input element has no content for pseudo-elements to select and style, so pseudo-elements are not supported.

If you want to style the input element, you can use CSS selectors and attribute selectors to select and style the `` element itself or its parent element. For example:

input[type="text"] { /* 样式化文本输入框 */ /* ... */ } input[type="submit"] { /* 样式化提交按钮 */ /* ... */ }
