CSS [attribute^="value"] selector selects all the elements where the attribute value starts with a given value. The attribute value needs not be a whole word, like the [attribute|=”value”] selector.
The [attribute^=”value”] selector in the example below selects all the <p> elements where the class attribute starts with the value ‘int’ and sets their background color to yellow. Try it out:
Example:
p[class^="int"]{
background: yellow;
}
Select all the links where the href attribute starts with a # character and set their background color to yellow.
Example:
a[href="#"]{
background: yellow;
}
