How to write :hover condition for a:before and a:after in CSS?
The :before and :after selectors in CSS is used to add content before and after an element. The :hover is pseudo-class and :before & :after are pseudo-elements. In CSS, pseudo-elements are written after pseudo-class.
Syntax:
a:hover::before {
// CSS Property
}
a:hover::after {
// CSS Property
}
In CSS3 double colon(::) is used to denote pseudo-element. For IE8 or older use a single colon (CSS2 syntax) is used.
