What are CSS pseudo-classes
CSS pseudo-classes are used to add special effects to some selectors. You do not need to use JavaScript or any other script to use those effects.
The most commonly used pseudo-classes are −
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| :link | Use this class to add special style to an unvisited link. |
| :visited | Use this class to add special style to a visited link. |
| :hover | Use this class to add special style to an element when you mouse over it. |
| :active | Use this class to add special style to an active element. |
| :focus | Use this class to add special style to an element while the element has focus. |
| :first-child | Use this class to add special style to an element that is the first child of some other element. |
| :lang | Use this class to specify a language to use in a specified element. |
