CSS selector for "foo that contains bar"?










Is there a way to make a CSS Selector that matches the following?



All OBJECT elements

which have a PARAM element inside of them


The selector



OBJECT PARAM


doesn't work, as it matches the PARAM, not the OBJECT. I'd like to apply { display:none } to the objects; it's useless to apply that to the PARAMs.




(I'm aware I could pull this off with jQuery - $("object param").closest("object") - and VanillaJS - document.querySelector("object param").closest("object") - but I'm trying to create CSS rules on a page.)


Answer



No, what you are looking for would be called a parent selector. CSS has none; they have been proposed multiple times but I know of no existing or forthcoming standard including them. You are correct that you would need to use something like jQuery or use additional class annotations to achieve the effect you want.
