|
## After
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ```::after``` CSS pseudo-element inserts a custom HTML element after the content of the selected HTML element. This selector is most commonly used to add visual content using the CSS ```content``` property.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
General Syntax:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
::after
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
/* "Text to insert" is placed after the content of each <div> element */
|
||
|
|
div::after {
|
||
|
|
content: "Text to insert";
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## More Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A great example of a practical use case is if you wanted to display the ```href``` attribute value for all links on your page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<a href="www.freecodecamp.org">Learn to code</a>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
a::after {
|
||
|
|
content: " " attr(href);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ```::after``` CSS pseudo-element can be used in many creative ways, especially when combined with it's sibling ```::before```.
