Okay let's go wild. Is it possible to check a condition using CSS like this:

If div with class hello exists within <p> tag, then add styling to the <p> tag.

So:

<p>
  <div class="hello"> world </div>
</p>

So I want to target and add styling to the <p> tag, not the div tag.

No, there is no parent selector in CSS. – Harry May 08 '15 at 15:49

And, at least in X/HTML, a div cannot exist inside a p. (But even if you were working with some other markup language that allows a div within a p, the above comment still holds true.) – BoltClock May 08 '15 at 15:50
@BoltClock The usage of div within the p tag was only an example to discuss the concept. – Henrik Petterson May 08 '15 at 15:51
