CSS 3 attribute selectors
In this article, Christopher Schmitt carries on his detailed exploration of what CSS3 has to offer us, looking at CSS3 attribute selectors that allow us to write selectors matching strings of text inside attribute values.

Love this article. As someone familiar with CSS2 and starting to look into CSS3, this was a nice little primer.
Would love to see an article on utilizing CSS3's support for multiple background images. That's gonna help me hugely. No more unnecssarily nested divs.
Any news on when IE will be supporting CSS3? Cuz until they do, I'm not gonna bother using it, unless it's just to make things prettier.

@SteveD: I'm glad you liked the article.
I think an article on multiple background images would be great, too.
You check out IE's support for CSS3 at this link

Currently only Safari supports multiple bacgkrounds, so we're even further away from being able to use that than we are from being able to use attribute selectors.

What I actually miss sometimes is a selector that matches elements not having a certain attribute, say something like:
a[!href] { ... }or one that means "where attribute x is NOT y", say:
a[href!="example.com"] { ... }

There is a negation selector:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#negationSo you can write a rule a:not([href="http://www.example.com"]) that selects all anchors except those that link to example.com
You'll be shocked to learn that it doesn't work in current versions of IE, though.

Combining attribute selectors with other selectors can create some really interesting solutions.
As an example; by combining the attribute selector and the general sibling combinator it's possible to make
a fully functional tabbed menu.
