:target pseudo selector

Can someone explain this to me the target pseudo-class better? How does the comp know the target if i don't give it something to target? is it specified somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Hey James,

URLs with an # followed by an anchor name, link to a certain element within a document. The element being linked to is the target element. The :target selector can be used to style the current active target element. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_target.asp So any URLs linked to an element in your page will be automatically targeted by " :target " without having to specify.
