Can CSS Selectors Identify Elements Containing Specific Child Elements?

CSS Selector for Elements Containing Specific Child Elements

Query:

Is there a CSS selector that can identify elements containing specific child elements?

Explanation:

You want to match all OBJECT elements that have a PARAM child element and apply a CSS rule to them.

Answer:

No, there is no native CSS selector that can match elements based on their child elements. CSS does not include parent selectors, as they have been proposed but not yet standardized.

Alternative Solutions:

• jQuery: Use the closest() method to find the closest ancestor element with a specific child element.

  $("object param").closest("object")

• Vanilla JavaScript: Use the querySelector() method to find the same ancestor element.

  document.querySelector("object param").closest("object")

• Additional Class Annotations: Annotate the parent element with a specific class to identify its child elements.
