[CSS Blank Pseudo] lets you style form elements when they are empty, following
|
|||
|
the [Selectors Level 4] specification.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```css
|
|||
|
input {
|
|||
|
/* style an input */
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
input:blank {
|
|||
|
/* style an input without a value */
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Usage
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
From the command line, transform CSS files that use `:blank` selectors:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```bash
|
|||
|
npx css-blank-pseudo SOURCE.css TRANSFORMED.css
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Next, use your transformed CSS with this script:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```html
|
|||
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="TRANSFORMED.css">
|
|||
|
<script src="https://unpkg.com/css-blank-pseudo/browser"></script>
|
|||
|
<script>cssBlankPseudo(document)</script>
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
That’s it. The script is 509 bytes and works in all browsers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you support Internet Explorer 11, use the **browser legacy** script, which
|
|||
|
is 671 bytes:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```html
|
|||
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="TRANSFORMED.css">
|
|||
|
<script src="https://unpkg.com/css-blank-pseudo/browser-legacy"></script>
|
|||
|
<script>cssBlankPseudo(document)</script>
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## How it works
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The [PostCSS plugin](README-POSTCSS.md) clones rules containing `:blank`,
|
|||
|
replacing them with an alternative `[blank]` selector.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```css
|
|||
|
input:blank {
|
|||
|
background-color: yellow;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
/* becomes */
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
input[blank] {
|
|||
|
background-color: yellow;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
input:blank {
|
|||
|
background-color: yellow;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Next, the [JavaScript library](README-BROWSER.md) adds a `blank` attribute to
|
|||
|
elements otherwise matching `:blank` natively.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```html
|
|||
|
<input value="" blank>
|
|||
|
<input value="This element has a value">
|
|||
|
```
