The CSS id Selector The id of an element is unique within a page, so the id selector is used to select one unique element! To select an element with a specific id, write a hash (#) character, followed by the id of the element.
In CSS, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in selectors) can contain only the characters [a-zA-Z0-9] and ISO 10646 characters U+00A0 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_); they cannot start with a digit, two hyphens, or a hyphen followed by a digit.
The asterisk (*) is known as the CSS universal selectors. It can be used to select any and all types of elements in an HTML page. The asterisk can also be followed by a selector while using to select a child object. This selector is useful when we want to select all the elements on the page.
The #id selector allows you to target an element by referencing the id HTML attribute. Similar to how class attributes are denoted in CSS with a “period” ( . ) before the class name, ID attributes are prefixed with an “octothorpe” ( # ), more commonly known as a “hash” or “pound sign”.
[id^=product]
^=
indicates "starts with". Conversely, $=
indicates "ends with".
The symbols are actually borrowed from Regex syntax, where ^
and $
mean "start of string" and "end of string" respectively.
See the specs for full information.
I'd do it like this:
[id^="product"] {
...
}
Ideally, use a class. This is what classes are for:
<div id="product176" class="product"></div>
<div id="product177" class="product"></div>
<div id="product178" class="product"></div>
And now the selector becomes:
.product {
...
}
Use the attribute selector
[id^=product]{property:value}
I want to share this solution too, maybe in the future it could help someone.
As the others said you can write [id^=product]
for id
But we can give an example for the class
as well:
[class^="product-"]
which indicates classes starts with product
and also *
like this [class*="product-"]
This is a simple example :
/* Icons */
[class^="icon-"], [class*=" icon-"] {
/* use !important to prevent issues with browser extensions that change fonts */
font-family: 'mk-font' !important;
font-size: 3em;
}
good luck ...
