UI Selectors

:disabled  :in-range     :user-error

Test page

Specificity

              *   { 0 - 0 - 0 }
li, p, ::before   { 0 - 0 - 1 }
 .class, [type]   { 0 - 1 - 0 }
    #soPowerful   { 1 - 0 - 0 }

Being specific...

            ul > li   { 0 - 0 - 2 }
            ul   li   { 0 - 0 - 2 }

            li ~ li   { 0 - 0 - 2 }
li:nth-of-type(n+2)   { 0 - 1 - 1 }

            h1 + h2   { 0 - 0 - 2 }
          header h2   { 0 - 0 - 2 }

:not()

                       li  { 0 - 0 - 1 }
                  :not(li) { 0 - 0 - 1 }

               .someClass  { 0 - 1 - 0 }
          :not(.someClass) { 0 - 1 - 0 }

                  #someId  { 1 - 0 - 0 }
             :not(#someId) { 1 - 0 - 0 }

     input[type=checkbox]  { 0 - 1 - 1 }
input:not([type=checkbox]) { 0 - 1 - 1 }
CSS Specifishity Chart

!important

multiple class declarations instead of !important

.disabled {cursor: default !important;}
p.btn {cursor: pointer;}
.disabled.disabled.disabled {cursor: default;}
p.btn {cursor: pointer;}

!Even More Important

Animation Quirks

  • !important ignored in @keyframe & original values
  • animation-name: identifier (not string).
  • Applied in order declared.
  • Original values used if missing 0% or 100%.
  • animation-iteration-count: O+ || infinite;
  • Events: 1 animationstart, n animationiterations, 1 animationend
  • Characters: animation-timing-function: steps(n, end);

steps(4, end)

@keyframes pedal { 100% {background-position: -360px 0;}}
  • 0%
  • 25%
  • 50%
  • 75%
  • 100%
