#998: CSS Selectors 4; :local-link

Visit on Github.

Opened Sep 30, 2024

こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting a TAG review of the :local-link pseudo class.

The :local-link pseudo-class allows authors to style hyperlinks based on the users current location within a site. It represents an element that is the source anchor of a hyperlink whose target’s absolute URL matches the element’s own document URL. If the hyperlink’s target includes a fragment URL, then the fragment URL of the current URL must also match; if it does not, then the fragment URL portion of the current URL is not taken into account in the comparison.

Further details:

  • I have reviewed the TAG's Web Platform Design Principles
  • Relevant time constraints or deadlines: I'll be working on prototypes for browsers this week.
  • The group where the work on this specification is currently being done: CSSWG
  • The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done (if different from the current group): CSSWG
  • Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification: None
  • This work is being funded by: Me, or I guess GitHub, but they allow me to contribute as an independant.

You should also know that...

I'll be implementing a prototype this week in Chrome/Firefox/WebKit.

This name is confusing, but apparently not everyone thinks that.

We'll discuss in Plenary: should Jeffrey's issue be "promoted" to coming from the TAG and not just himself? (Everyone present in this breakout believes we should.)
