CSS Selector for <input type="?"

Yes. IE7+ supports attribute selectors:

input[type=radio]
input[type^=ra]
input[type*=d]
input[type$=io]

Element input with attribute type which contains a value that is equal to, begins with, contains or ends with a certain value.

Other safe (IE7+) selectors are:

• Parent > child that has: p > span { font-weight: bold; }
• Preceded by ~ element which is: span ~ span { color: blue; }

Which for <p><span/><span/></p> would effectively give you:

<p>
    <span style="font-weight: bold;">
    <span style="font-weight: bold; color: blue;">
</p>

I'm surprised that everyone else thinks it can't be done. CSS attribute selectors have been here for some time already. I guess it's time we clean up our .css files.

Sadly the other posters are correct that you're ...actually as corrected by kRON, you are ok with your IE7 and a strict doc, but most of us with IE6 requirements are reduced to JS or class references for this, but it is a CSS2 property, just one without sufficient support from IE^h^h browsers.

Out of completeness, the type selector is - similar to xpath - of the form [attribute=value] but many interesting variants exist. It will be quite powerful when it's available, good thing to keep in your head for IE8.

You can do this with jQuery. Using their selectors, you can select by attributes, such as type. This does, however, require that your users have Javascript turned on, and an additional file to download, but if it works...
