# Attribute selector by text

The attribute selector by text applies a style to an element whose tag attribute value contains the specified text.

## Example

Let's find links that contain `test` in their attributes and recolor them green:

`<a href="https://test.com">link1</a> <a href="https://code.mu">link2</a> <a href="http://my-test.com">link3</a>` `a[href*="test"] { color: green; }`
