Simon Elvery: CSS3 Pseudo Classes and Elements
The range of pseudo classes made available in CSS3 is a huge improvement to the status quo. In addition to pseudo classes, CSS3 introduces the concept of pseudo elements which didn’t (really) exist before. We’ll look at the range of pseudo elements and classes defined by the CSS3 specification, what makes them ‘pseudo’ and how you can start using them right now.
