CSS：父母的最后一个孩子

Question

:last-child works great when all of the "children" elements are the same (ie: all <p> 's or all <li> 's and the rule is applied to that type of child.

But how can I use CSS to select the last "child" element inside a parent which contains varying elements?

For instance, in this example, how could I apply a rule to the .parent to select the last object inside of it (the div )?

 .parent:last-child { background-color: red; } 

 <div class="parent"> <p>First child</p> <input type="text" placeholder="Second child" /> <div>Third child</div> </div> 

Answer 1

You can use .parent > *:last-child or just .parent > :last-child

An asterisk (*) is the universal selector for CSS. It matches a single element of any type. Omitting the asterisk with simple selectors has the same effect.

 .parent > *:last-child { background-color: red; } 

 <div class="parent"> <p>First child</p> <input type="text" placeholder="Second child" /> <div>Third child</div> </div>
