:last-of-type

The :last-of-type CSS pseudo-class represents the last element of its type among a group of sibling elements.

/* Selects any <p> that is the last element    of its type among its siblings */ p:last-of-type {   color: lime; } 

Note: As originally defined, the selected element had to have a parent. Beginning with Selectors Level 4, this is no longer required.

Syntax

Examples

<h2>Heading</h2> <p>Paragraph 1</p> <p>Paragraph 2</p> 

p:last-of-type {   color: red;   font-style: italic; } 

Nested elements

This example shows how nested elements can also be targeted. Note that the universal selector (*) is implied when no simple selector is written.

<article>   <div>This `div` is first.</div>   <div>This <span>nested `span` is last</span>!</div>   <div>This <em>nested `em` is first</em>, but this <em>nested `em` is last</em>!</div>   <b>This `b` qualifies!</b>   <div>This is the final `div`!</div> </article> 

article :last-of-type {   background-color: pink; }
