AFAIK it’s not possible to select a parent element based on its descendant, no. Can you describe a specific example?

You can with X-Path in XML. No reason why it shouldn't be possible eventually--as part of CSS.

Re: [css-d] Select by descendant?
CSS selectors level 4 introduces a :has() pseudo class, but it isn't out there and even when it is it will (initially at least) only be supported in the complete profile - meaning it will work via querySelectorAll and friends, but not CSS itself. If you only, need this in script, jQuery has had :has from the beginning (it was a proposal from CSS3 a decade and a half ago), and if you need it in CSS you might have a look at hitchjs which has it On May 16, 2014 5:53 AM, BPJ b...@melroch.se wrote: is it possible to select an element based on the presence or absence of a descendant with some attribute? /bpj __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

While this is cheating (:-P) it will work unless Javascript is inactive. That will get you the basic onload of it, sure. If you wanted it in css though then you want to maintain that class appropriately (if the :has ceases to apply at any time or starts to) and that's more work...
