Syntax
The syntax of pseudo-classes:
selector:pseudo-class {
property:value;
}
property:value;
}
selector.class:pseudo-class {
property:value;
}
property:value;
}
Anchor Pseudo-classes
Links can be displayed in different ways in a CSS-supporting browser:Example
/* unvisited link */
a:link {
color: #FF0000;
}
/* visited link */
a:visited {
color: #00FF00;
}
/* mouse over link */
a:hover {
color: #FF00FF;
}
/* selected link */
a:active {
color: #0000FF;
}
a:link {
color: #FF0000;
}
/* visited link */
a:visited {
color: #00FF00;
}
/* mouse over link */
a:hover {
color: #FF00FF;
}
/* selected link */
a:active {
color: #0000FF;
}

Pseudo-classes and CSS Classes
Pseudo-classes can be combined with CSS classes:CSS - The :first-child Pseudo-class
The :first-child pseudo-class matches a specified element that is the first child of another element. |
Note: For :first-child to work in IE8 and earlier, a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared. |

The :lang pseudo-class allows you to define special rules for different languages. |
Note: IE8 supports the :lang pseudo-class only if a <!DOCTYPE> is specified. |

<head>
<style>
q:lang(no) {
quotes: "~" "~";
