Hey guy,
I'm Esraa a front-end developer, wife, and mom.
It’s been a long time since I wrote an article so excuse me for any mistakes.

Here’s what the difference between CSS pseudo-classes VS pseudo-elements

First of all I need to know What is a pseudo prefix reference for? a class or an element that is not real.
and How?
It's mean not in your HTML or part of your DOM.

There's examples for pseudo-classes helps to understand the difference

Pseudo-classes: used to target state
:hover
:active
:link
:target
:invalid
:valid

Example for :focus, and :focus-within

For more example Click here

Pseudo-elements: used to target specific part of element

::before
::after
::first-letter
:first-line
::selection

::first-letter

For more example Click here

and I read a useful JavaScript article about operators you can check it out here.

So let's share our knowledge and tell me what you learned today.
