can be used to change a button’s color when the user’s pointer hovers over it.

Other pseudo-elements and pseudo-class selectors, :not()
can be chained with other pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements. For example, the following will add a “New!” word to list items that do not have a .old
class name, using the ::after
Trivia & Notes
The :not()
selector is chainable with more :not()
selectors. For example, the following will match all article
s except the one with an ID #featured
, and then will filter out the articles with a class name .tutorial
:
article:not(#featured):not(.tutorial) { /* style the articles that match */ }
Just like other pseudo-elements and pseudo-class selectors, :not()
can be chained with other pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements. For example, the following will add a “New!” word to list items that do not have a .old
class name, using the ::after
pseudo-element:
li:not(.old)::after { content: "New!"; color: deepPink; }

On the Specificity of Selectors
The specificity of the :not()
pseudo-class is the specificity of its argument. The :not()
pseudo-class does not add to the selector specificity, unlike other pseudo-classes.
The simple selector that :not()
takes as an argument can be any of the following:
- Type selector (e.g
p
,span
, etc.) - Class selector (e.g
.element
,.sidebar
, etc.) - ID selector (e.g
#header
) - Pseudo-class selector (e.g
:first-child
,:last-of-type
)
Reference
The argument passed to :not()
can not, however, be a pseudo-element selector (such as ::before
and ::after
, among others) or another negation pseudo-class selector.
