The :last-of-type
CSS pseudo-class represents the last element of its type among a group of sibling elements.
/* Selects any <p> that is the last element of its type among its siblings */ p:last-of-type { color: lime; }
Note: As originally defined, the selected element had to have a parent. Beginning with Selectors Level 4, this is no longer required.
:last-of-type
<h2>Heading</h2> <p>Paragraph 1</p> <p>Paragraph 2</p>
p:last-of-type { color: red; font-style: italic; }
This example shows how nested elements can also be targeted. Note that the universal selector (*
) is implied when no simple selector is written.
<article> <div>This `div` is first.</div> <div>This <span>nested `span` is last</span>!</div> <div>This <em>nested `em` is first</em>, but this <em>nested `em` is last</em>!</div> <b>This `b` qualifies!</b> <div>This is the final `div`!</div> </article>
article :last-of-type { background-color: pink; }
