Combine "begins with" and "ends with" attribute selectors?

Is there a way to combine both of these selectors? For instance, to select external .jpg files? (e.g., [href^="http"] [href$=".jpg"])

Hi Reid,

Combining two attribute selectors is feasible.

a[href^="http"][href*="google"] {
    color: green;
 }

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
 a[href^="http"][href*="google"] {
    color: green;
 }
</style>

</head>

<body>
<div class="hello-example">
    <a href="http://google.com">google</a><br>
    <a href="http://yahoo.com">yahoo</a><br>
</div>
</body>

</html>

Regards! Chunwei

Thanks! I figured it was possible but didn't know what the syntax would be.

(Maybe it's covered in a later video and I should've been more patient :P )
