Syntax
Description
This pseudo-class is also known as the negation pseudo-class. The argument it takes can be any simple selector, but it can’t contain either the negation pseudo-class or a pseudo-element. This pseudo-class matches elements that aren’t matched by the specified selector.
For example, the selector,
input:not([type="submit"]), matches all
input elements, except input
elements with a type value of
"submit"—that is, HTML submit
buttons.
Example
The following selector matches all
elements except table elements:
:not(table) {
⋮ declarations
