CSS: Add Icon to Links
You can add a little icon to links to indicate what type of link it is.
For example, suppose you have links to Twitter like this:
<a href="https://x.com/xah_lee">Xah Lee</a>
And you want browser to show a icon, like this
![CSS Google Plus Twitter Facebook icon link-2](i/CSS_Google_Plus_Twitter_Facebook_icon_link-2.png)
Instead of using a img tag for each link, you should use CSS to add them, by matching the URL.
Here is the CSS code:
a[href*="x.com/"] { background:url("https://twitter.com/favicon.ico") no-repeat left center; padding-left:36px; }
The CSS selector a[href*="x.com/"]
matches any “a” tag with “href” attribute that has value contanining the string “x.com/”. For a full list of such selector syntax, see: CSS 3 Selector Syntax
