I've been working on upping my CSS skills lately and came across of the question whether or not there are CSS parent sectors - and I haven't been able to figure this one out.
Anyone got some wisdom to impart?

There isn't an explicit parent selector, but in the CSS selectors of level 4, it is defined the :has() pseudo-class which allows to select an element based on the selectors passed to the
:has(). That would allow to select an element based on their children, providing a "parent" selector (e.g.div:has(> img)would select the div that is a direct parent of an img)... Unfortunately, it is not supported by any browser at the moment.Great question! Currently, there isn't a CSS parent selector in the official specification. CSS only allows you to target child elements or siblings, but not the parent of an element. However, there are workarounds, such as using JavaScript to manipulate the DOM or by structuring your HTML/CSS in a way that achieves the desired effect. For example, you could use classes or IDs to target elements based on the parent. Hopefully, this helps clear things up! Let me know if you need more details!"

This is a great breakdown of the CSS parent selector!
It's interesting how web development requires attention to detail, much like the process of obtaining a National Police Clearance.
Just like you need the right selectors in your code to ensure everything functions properly, having the right documents and steps in place is crucial for getting a police clearance smoothly.
Has anyone worked on projects where legal documentation, like a police clearance, was part of the process?
No, there is no CSS parent selector.
