CSS Attribute Selectors
Style HTML Elements With Specific Attributes
It is possible to style HTML elements that have specific attributes, not just
class and id.
Note: Internet Explorer 7 (and higher) supports attribute selectors

{
width:150px;
display:block;
margin-bottom:10px;
background-color:yellow;
}
input[type="button"]
{
width:120px;
margin-left:35px;
display:block;
