Wow, you have such a talent for structuring a lesson / telling a story. Combine this with your absolute love for CSS and you'll get to the 1mln subs this year no doubt! Thanks Kevin!
Attribute selectors on ID are very useful, as they lower the specificity: [id="mainmenu"] vs #mainmenu, 0,1,0 vs 1,0,0 The former (0,1,0) is easy to overwrite with another single class (0,1,0) OR pseudo selector (0,1,0) and keeps you from fighting a specificity war if an id (1,0,0) is involved. Attribute selectors also provide means to use only parts of an attribute's value. If you're a CSS novice: Use IDs as Javascript hooks only (or use querySelector) but avoid them for general purpose styling unless you're very aware of the consequences (good and bad ones.) this has on the cascade or even want to "make a point" in your style sheet and force *some* style properties to be harder to overwrite (like many CSS Frameworks do). Whenever you find yourself using an ID selector because they're convenient or to apply simple *cosmetic styles* (colours, font) or change other inheriting properties, rethink your choice! Rather use the [id] attribute selector variance. If that's not possible find some other unique node type and attribute combinations to "identify" the element rather than slapping an id attribute on it in your html. The "nth" pseudo classes are very powerful and you can always combine them with other attribute selectors to narrow things down while keeping a sane level (0,n,m) on the selector's specificity value: element name, class name, its position within its parent or a set, the data and ARIA attributes often produce an equally unique *identity* without raising the specificity above 0,2,n or 0,3,n Happy coding.
I used to love developing and designing but these days I've lost interest on everything in my life everything is going downhill seeing u upload a tutorial gave me back the motivation I was lacking ❤ thank you
Glad I can help motivate you a bit! Sometimes when things become a grind, building out a nice, simple and small project can be a fun way to get into a little groove and remind yourself that it can be fun 😊
You could have mentioned of the other comparison operators for attributes [attr^=value] [attr|=value] [attr$=value] , maybe elude to the nuanced of [attr~=value] vs [attr*=value]
Attribute selectors are also very interesting for JS purposes with document.querySelector(). You could for example use it to select all insecure links on a page with a selector like 'a[href=""]' .I think the different options would make for an interesting seperate video.
I wish there was something like an "nth-of-selector", or "nth-of-match", where we could target elements by specific selectors, rather than just the element type. Imagine the possibilities!
Oh Kevin, you larned how to pronounce specificity.....😅I just came back to your awsome videos, cause a seson job, I'm glad that you are healthy and strong, keep up the good work, I appreciate it and I've learnt a lot from you, thanks!!!
Fun fact: the attribute selector is a way to override !important, if you inherited someone’s convoluted nightmare code and you don’t have time/resources to rewrite their entire style sheet.
Thanks again for the great video! Is it possible to target the ::selection for options if a select input? option:: selection and select: selection doesn't work
What if I want to style an element on a specific page; say I want to style my "header" on the "index" page, but want to leave the others alone. Can I do that using one CSS document?
Man i love these things.. problem is, I always forget about them when I need them and and up creating a class instead :( even odd I didnt know about, nor first-of-type which would have been really useful a few times
Thanks you a lot Kevin, for your great videos and so for your work. By the way, can you give me the name of your 'serif' font when you switch the 'font-family' at 5:00 of this video ? Thank in advance to make internet, a little bit, more ; awesome :)
@@KevinPowell yes sir this is tailwind CSS, but I want to learn these type of techniques so I can work with my own CSS and these classes... please made a video on this
It's very different and not something I have experience with. I do have an interview on my channel with an email designer though, which includes a ton of resources
This kind of lessons is why he is the true CSS KING👑

I hardly use stack overflow...because I know Powell definitely would have a video on the CSS problem I'm faced with

Perfect! I can supplement this along with the Odin Project! (In the Intermediate HTML and CSS section)
So many gems in this video. Thank you.
From Nigeria, your videos have my life a lot easier
OMG this is Exactly what I needed!
:marker definitely needs more properties. I use it but often the bullet is positionally a bit off depending on the font and it’s tricky to line it up.
Now THIS is something I want to learn, thanks Kevin!
Great breakdown! Thanks, Kevin!
Awesome and informative as always ..👍👍 I learned 2n & 3n and :not concept .
Wow, thanks alot. Really been looking for something like this. 👍
thank you. YOU KEEP DELIVERING TO MY EXPECTATION.✌✌
cool! ... I think nowadays we use "~" and "+" adjacent selector very often too.
I use + quite a bit for sure

Would have been great to include things like ^ in the attribute section!

option:: selection and select: selection doesn't work
Just realized how Kevin Powell's groupie i am, and you know what? I'm proud for it.

I clicked the thumbs up button 3 times. 👍 👍 👍.
Id love to be able to use the emojis for my lists, is there a video where you explain how to do this? if not I'd love to suggest that please 😁
Could you do a video on site maps in consol as most of my 6 pages aren't found at all except one. Great channel 👏
Thanks Kevin...🔥
Waited for some more difficult attribute selectors like ~= or |=
Kevin Powell, bringing CSS some social power.
Hi Kevin.. I want learn from you about input[tel] number backspace delete number. Could you please an video
Thank you so much
Thanks you a lot Kevin, for your great videos and so for your work. By the way, can you give me the name of your 'serif' font when you switch the 'font-family' at 5:00 of this video ? Thank in advance to make internet, a little bit, more ; awesome :)
It's the system default, probably Times New Roman?
Anyone pls share the link of the starter code base for this lecture.??
Is it possible to set an li::marker as an SVG?
Sir what is this (dark:bg-slate-800) in html class and how can we work with these types of classes??
Looks like Tailwind to me, which is a utility class based CSS library
@@KevinPowell yes sir this is tailwind CSS, but I want to learn these type of techniques so I can work with my own CSS and these classes...
please made a video on this
Where can I get the code to practice?
Is there any other use of HTML5 besides of Web development
You skipped adjacent sibling combinator - do you not use that anymore?
Plz tell us about newest css awesome things and also tell us about advanced feature of css
A tutorial on styled React components would be welcome.
I'm not the right person for React videos, I haven't touched it in like 2 years :D
There's something confusing me is how even and odd work ? I don't really get it
Could you make a video on email development with CSS and HTML?
It's very different and not something I have experience with. I do have an interview on my channel with an email designer though, which includes a ton of resources
