That’s clearer than > a pseudo-class named “any-link”. It is, but it's also more verbose. Granted, :matches is still useful when using :link and :visited with more elaborate selectors, such as body > header > a:matches(:link, :visited) being (slightly) shorter than body > header > a:link, body > header > a:visited But for the simplest of cases, like a:link, a:visited it's pointless to rewrite the above to use :matches as that would only result in more bytes used: a:matches(:link, :visited) -- Daniel Tan NOVALISTIC <http://NOVALISTIC.com>Received on Tuesday, 23 February 2016 15:42:08 UTC
