Pseudo Selectors
Pseudo selectors allow web authors to select specific states of HTML elements instead of just the element (some pseudo selectors allow for other things too, but we talked mostly about hover states). The syntax is simple and consistent and makes sense once you wrap your head around the concept of states.
For example:
a{
color: green;
}
The above code with make the link’s text green in color.
a:hover{
color: blue;
}
This example is s pseudo selector that targets a links that have the mouse hovered over them. The way we talk about it is that the a’s hover state is blue. It has a default state of green and a hover state of blue.
