:last-child
The :last-child
CSS pseudo-class represents the last element among a group of sibling elements.
/* Selects any <p> that is the last element among its siblings */ p:last-child { color: lime; }
Note: As originally defined, the selected element had to have a parent. Beginning with Selectors Level 4, this is no longer required.
