FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I test complex CSS selectors with pseudo-classes?
Yes, the tool typically supports advanced selectors including pseudo-classes (:hover, :nth-child), pseudo-elements (::before, ::after), attribute selectors, and complex combinators for comprehensive selector testing.

Yes, matched elements are typically highlighted in the HTML preview, making it easy to verify that your selectors target the intended elements and understand selector scope and reach.
Is this helpful for debugging CSS issues?
Extremely helpful! Test why selectors aren't working, understand specificity conflicts, validate complex selector logic, and learn advanced CSS selector techniques through experimentation.
