Attribute Selectors

You can’t use some handy CSS selectors like:

1. input[type=”text”] for selecting text input elements or
2. abbr[title] for selecting all <abbr> tags with a title attribute or
3. a[href$=”.pdf”] for all links that point to pdf files

div#column and div[id=”column”] are equivalent selectors, but one doesn’t work in IE6. Handy for when you want to apply a style for everything else.
