Go to Exercise page

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Specifies the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to content property is used with the after</title><!-- Sets the title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css"> /* Begins a CSS style block */
p:after { 
 content: "w3r"; /* Adds content after every <p> element */
 }
</style><!-- Ends the CSS style block -->
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="http://www.example.com">example.com</a></p><!-- Inserts a paragraph element with a link to example.com -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  • This HTML document demonstrates the use of the content property in CSS with the ::after pseudo-element selector.
  • The CSS rule p:after selects every <p> element and inserts content after it.
  • The content: "w3r"; property inserts the text "w3r" after each <p> element.
  • In this specific example, the "w3r" text will be inserted after the <p> element containing the link to "example.com".
