Ignore case sensitivity in a CSS attribute selector
By default, CSS attribute selectors are case-sensitive. It means that `a[href$=".png"]`
has effect with the links whose extensions are `.png`
only.
Imagine that you're building a files management application. It would add an icon to a file based on its extension. For example, the following CSS inserts an icon to any `.png`
file.
a[href$='.png']:after {
content: url(/img/png.svg);
}
In reality, the files are uploaded by the users and we can't control the file extensions. A png file can be named as `.png`
, `.PNG`
, `.pNG`
.
In order to accept all of these variants, we can add `i`
right before `]`
in the selector.
a[href$='.png' i]:after {
content: url(/img/png.svg);
}
