In this article, we would like to show you how to style only required input HTML elements using CSS.

Quick solution:

input:required {
    background: yellow;
}

 

Practical example

In this example, we present how to use :required pseudo class to style only required HTML input elements.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    input:required {
        background: #ffe973;
        border: 2px solid red;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <input type="text" placeholder="username" required />
  <input type="password" placeholder="password" required />
  <input type="text" placeholder="e-mail" />
</body>
</html>

Alternative solution

This solution may be useful when we want to style only input elements that have required HTML attribute.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    input[required] {
        background: #ffe973;
        border: 2px solid red;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <input type="text" placeholder="username" required />
  <input type="password" placeholder="password" required />
  <input type="text" placeholder="e-mail" />
</body>
</html>
