: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.
