Is there any way to select the parent of an element in CSS only?

Currently there is no way of doing that with just CSS, unfortunately. There is a working draft for the βhas()β pseudo-class that does what you are looking for, but browser support is just not there. Read more about it here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
In the meantime: what are you trying to achieve?

Like @murkrage said, you can't do it at the present.
If you need to style an element when one of his children is focused there is an handy pseudo-class you can actually use. It is supported in all major browser (maybe all)
