The :last-child CSS pseudo-class represents the last element among a group of sibling elements.
/* Selects any <li>, but only if it is the last child of its parent element */
li:last-child {
background-color: lime;
}
Note: As originally defined, the selected element had to have a parent. Beginning with Selectors Level 4, this is no longer required.

<ul> <li>This item is not limed.</li> <li>Also not this one.</li> <li>This item is! :)</li> </ul>
