Is it possible to apply a style to an HTML element using only its title as a unique identifier? For example:
<div class="my_class">
<a href="some site" title="MyTitle">My Link</a>
</div>
I would like to write a rule that will apply only to link element within a div of class my_class and the link title MyTitle.
I do not have the ability to change page layout, however, I can use a custom CSS file that is included automatically.
Thank you
It sure is, using what's called attribute selectors; these are part of CSS2. In your particular case, you'd use:
div.my_class a[title="MyTitle"] { color: red; }
You can read more about attribute selectors here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors
Yes you can:

You would say A[title="MyTitle] I believe.
What you are looking for is css attribute selectors:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors
a[title] { ... }
CSS specifications identify a number of "selectors" that may help you here. For example, you could apply a rule such as the following:
.my_class a[title="MyTitle"]
{
...
}
You can see a detailed specification of CSS "selectors" here:
Although it is possible, using attribute selectors (see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors ) Internet Explorer 6 does not support it (see http://kimblim.dk/css-tests/selectors/ )
An example from the W3C site: H1[title] { color: blue; }
