Using CSS Pseudo-Class Selectors


  CSS pseudo-classes allow you to apply styles to elements based on their state or position in the document, such as a button on hover, the first child of a list, among others.


Syntax


The basic syntax for using a pseudo-class in CSS is:
selector:pseudo-class
Some common pseudo-classes include: :hover, :focus, :nth-child(), and :first-child.


Purpose


Pseudo-classes are fundamental for applying conditional styles. With them, you can:


  • Change the color of a link when the user visits it.
  • Apply styles to an element that receives focus.
  • Style the first item in a list.
