What are CSS attribute selectors used for?

CSS attribute selectors are used when you want to style elements based on information written inside HTML tags. You can target inputs, links, images and more without adding extra classes every time.

How many types of CSS attribute selectors does CSS support?

There are many types of CSS attribute selectors, such as starts with, ends with, contains and exact match. These CSS selector types help you control styling more accurately.

Can CSS attributes match part of a word or only full words?

Both are possible. Some attribute selector types match full values while others match partial strings. For example, *= checks anywhere inside the value, while ~= checks separate words.

Do attribute selectors in CSS affect performance?

Attribute selectors are slightly slower than using id or class, because the browser checks values inside HTML. But for normal pages you don’t need to worry about performance issues.

Can I mix CSS selectors attributes with other selector types?

You can combine them with class, id or pseudo-classes. For example, input[required].form-control applies style when both conditions are true, giving better control in real pages.

What happens if two attribute selectors apply to the same element?

The normal CSS selector property rules apply, so the more specific selector wins. You can still override them using order or by writing more specific attribute selector in CSS.
