::-ms-value - Archive of obsolete content

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The ::-ms-value CSS pseudo-element is a Microsoft extension that applies rules to the value of a text or password <input> control or the content of a <select> control.
