:last-of-type CSS Pseudo Class
Description
The :last-of-type pseudo-class is a selector in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) that allows you to target the last element of a specific type within its parent element. It is used to apply styles to the final element of a particular type within a container, such as the last paragraph in a div or the last list item in an unordered or ordered list.
Here's a simple example of how you might use the :last-of-type pseudo-class in CSS:
p:last-of-type {
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
}
In this example, all the last paragraphs (
<p>) within their respective parent containers will have their text made bold and colored blue.This pseudo-class is helpful for applying distinct styling to the last occurrence of an element type without needing to add specific classes or IDs to those elements.
Syntax
:last-of-type {
/* ... */
}
