I need to use attribute selector in css to change link on different color and image, but it does not work.
I have this html:
<a href="/manual.pdf">A PDF File</a>
And this css:
a {
display: block;
height: 25px;
padding-left: 25px;
color:#333;
font: bold 15px Tahoma;
text-decoration: none;
}
a[href='.pdf'] { background: red; }
Why isn't the background red?
Use the $ after your href. This will make the attribute value to match the end of the string.
a[href$='.pdf'] { /*css*/ }

E[foo] an E element with a "foo" attribute (CSS 2)
E[foo="bar"] an E element whose "foo" attribute value is exactly equal to "bar" (CSS 2)
E[foo~="bar"] an E element whose "foo" attribute value is a list of whitespace-separated values, one of which is exactly equal to "bar" (CSS 2)
E[foo^="bar"] an E element whose "foo" attribute value begins exactly with the string "bar" (CSS 3)
E[foo$="bar"] an E element whose "foo" attribute value ends exactly with the string "bar" (CSS 3)
E[foo*="bar"] an E element whose "foo" attribute value contains the substring "bar" (CSS 3)
E[foo|="en"] an E element whose "foo" attribute has a hyphen-separated list of values beginning (from the left) with "en" (CSS 2)
