2,515 PointsCan someone elaborate on the :target pseudo class and how this is used exactly?
Does an attribute have to contain a # in order for it to be targeted?

3,472 PointsIf the hash in the browser's URL:
mywebsite.com/#hash

then the :target pseudo class rules get triggered.
:target {
background: red;
}
