Back to the index.
The :root
pseudo-element selects the root of all blocks in the page, ie. the
Initial Containing Block. In HTML this is obviously the <html>
element
Test stylesheet:
:root { background-color: #6374AB; padding: 50px; }
If the :root
selector works the left and right column of the page are blue, and the white
middle column is offset by 50 pixels.
