    Dood!

    Depends on if your browser supports multiple selectors or not (CanIUse lets you find out and even shows you edge cases, EXTREMELY useful for CSS development) but may I introduce you to Firefox's MDN document database, which generally tells you if the feature is normally available and how to use it: pseudo-class selector :has and pseudo-class selector :not.

      Thank you!
      I had hoped for a ready made code example 😉 as I don't have any CSS knowledge 😄, but especially the Firefox link is great! I've already bookmarked it and will have a deeper look into CSS once I have a bit of time on my hands.
      On the CanIUse site I found that I can use ":has()", but unfortunately not how.

        Dood!

        Scroll down on the Mozilla site! They have examples lower down. (I don't use the selectors so I can't give you ready-made examples.)

          That's fine! 🙂
          I only had a quick look yesterday and didn't spot an example that would immediately answer my question, but as I said I'll take a closer look as soon as I have some time to delve into it.
          I'll probably spend quite a few hours on learning some CCS basics next weekend... 😄
