css after before

The ::before and ::after pseudo-elements in CSS allows you to insert content onto a page without it needing to be in the HTML. While the end result is not actually in the DOM, it appears on the page as if it is, and would essentially be like this:

div::before {
  content: "before";
}
div::after {
  content: "after";
}
<div>
  before
  <!-- Rest of stuff inside the div -->
  after
</div>

The only reasons to use one over the other are:

You want the generated content to come before the element content, positionally.
The ::after content is also “after” in source-order, so it will position on top of ::before if stacked on top of each other naturally.

	&quot;before&quot; &amp; &quot;after&quot; are pseudo-contents.
	They end up *into* the tag they are declared for.
	They are just right &quot;before&quot; or &quot;after&quot; the *content* of tag they're in.
	Declare their &quot;content&quot; CSS rule to make them visible.
*/
div::before			/* &lt;div&gt;|here|Content of tag&lt;/div&gt; */
{
  content: &quot;|here|&quot;;
}
div::after				/* &lt;div&gt;Content of tag|here|&lt;/div&gt; */
{
  content: &quot;|here|&quot;;
}

/*
	Double-colon should be used: it's the meant pseudo-content operator.
	IE8 doesn't support it though: it supports single-colon (meant for pseudo-selectors).
	So IE8 support needs the following:
	div:before { ... }
	div:after { ... }
