Do CSS namespace attribute selectors work with XHTML/HTML elements?

Question

I want to style elements with xlink:href attribute in a XHTML, however I can\'t make it work. My test code:

Answer 1

They do. You've just set up either your markup or your CSS rules incorrectly.

Your attribute selectors are looking for elements with href attributes (in the respective namespaces), but your

elements have xref attributes, not href attributes, so they don't match.

Your and elements on the other hand all have href attributes, so those are the ones that end up matching your attribute selectors instead.
