# Case Insensitive CSS Attribute Selector

**[David Walsh](https://daily.dev/sources/dwb)** · 1 min read · 27 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

CSS selectors offer powerful capabilities for matching complex patterns, including the ability to conduct case insensitive searches for attribute values. By adding an 'i' within the attribute selector brackets, you can match attribute values regardless of their case. However, this feature should be used sparingly due to the potential for issues arising from inconsistent class naming conventions.
