In CSS (any version), is there something like, or any other way of doing anything like the :has() selector in jQuery?
jQuery(':has(selector)')Description: Selects elements which
contain at least one element that
matches the specified selector.
No, there isn’t. The way CSS is designed, does not permit selectors that match ancestors or preceding siblings; only descendants (
and>), succeeding siblings (~and+) or specific children (:*-child). The only ancestor selector is the:rootpseudo-class which selects the root element of a document (in HTML pages, naturally it would behtml).If you need to apply styles to the element you’re querying with
:has(), you need to add a CSS class to it then style by that class, as suggested by Stargazer712.
