What are Pseudo elements and Pseudo classes?

Pseudo-elements allows us to create items that do not normally exist in the document tree, for example ::after.

• ::before
• ::after
• ::first-letter
• ::first-line
• ::selection

In the below example, the color will appear only on the first line of the paragraph.

p: :first-line {
	color: #ffOOOO;
	font-variant: small-caps;
}

Pseudo-classes select regular elements but under certain conditions like when the user is hovering over the link.

• :link
• :visited
• :hover
• :active
• :focus

For an example in the pseudo-class, In the below example, the color applies to the anchor tag when it’s hovered.

/* mouse over link */
a:hover {
	color: #FFOOFF;
}
