您可以创建一个伪属性，也可以使用一个现有的属性，并在伪元素的样式表中继承它。

var switched = false; // Enable color switching setInterval(function () { var color = switched ? 'red' : 'darkred'; var element = document.getElementById('arrow'); element.style.backgroundColor = color; // Managing pseudo-element's css // using inheritance. element.style.borderLeftColor = color; switched = !switched; }, 1000); .arrow { /* SET FICTIONAL PROPERTY */ border-left-color:red; background-color:red; width:1em; height:1em; display:inline-block; position:relative; } .arrow:after { border-top:1em solid transparent; border-right:1em solid transparent; border-bottom:1em solid transparent; border-left:1em solid transparent; /* INHERIT PROPERTY */ border-left-color:inherit; content:""; width:0; height:0; position:absolute; left:100%; top:-50%; } <span id="arrow" class="arrow"></span>

似乎它对“content”属性不起作用:(

我在CSS中使用:root中定义的变量来修改:after(同样适用于:before)伪元素，特别是在下面使用JavaScript/jQuery生成随机颜色的演示中，更改由. slide -middle-out:hover:after定义的样式锚的背景颜色值和另一个锚(#reference)的内容值:

HTML

<a href="#" id="changeColor" class="sliding-middle-out" title="Generate a random color">Change link color</a>
<span id="log"></span>
<h6>
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/52360188/2149425" id="reference" class="sliding-middle-out" target="_blank" title="Stack Overflow topic">Reference</a>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/davidmerfield/randomColor/master/randomColor.js"></script>

CSS

:root {
    --anchorsFg: #0DAFA4;
}
a, a:visited, a:focus, a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: var(--anchorsFg);
    outline: 0;
    font-style: italic;

    -webkit-transition: color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: color 250ms ease-in-out;
    transition: color 250ms ease-in-out;
}
.sliding-middle-out {
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
}
.sliding-middle-out:after {
    content: '';
    display: block;
    margin: auto;
    height: 1px;
    width: 0px;
    background-color: transparent;

    -webkit-transition: width 250ms ease-in-out, background-color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: width 250ms ease-in-out, background-color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: width 250ms ease-in-out, background-color 250ms ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: width 250ms ease-in-out, background-color 250ms ease-in-out;
    transition: width 250ms ease-in-out, background-color 250ms ease-in-out;
}
.sliding-middle-out:hover:after {
    width: 100%;
    background-color: var(--anchorsFg);
    outline: 0;
}
#reference {
  margin-top: 20px;
}
.sliding-middle-out:before {
  content: attr(data-content);
  display: attr(data-display);
}

JS / jQuery

var anchorsFg = randomColor();
$( ".sliding-middle-out" ).hover(function(){
    $( ":root" ).css({"--anchorsFg" : anchorsFg});
});

$( "#reference" ).hover(
 function(){
    $(this).attr("data-content", "Hello World!").attr("data-display", "block").html("");
 },
 function(){
    $(this).attr("data-content", "Reference").attr("data-display", "inline").html("");
 }
);

有人评论说附加一个完整的样式元素到头部元素，如果你只做一次，这还不错，但如果你需要重置它不止一次，你最终会有大量的样式元素。所以为了防止这种情况，我在头部创建了一个带有id的空白样式元素，并像这样替换它的innerHTML:

<style id="pseudo"></style>

然后JavaScript看起来是这样的:

var pseudo = document.getElementById("pseudo");

function setHeight() {
    let height = document.getElementById("container").clientHeight;
    pseudo.innerHTML = `.class:before { height: ${height}px; }`
}

setHeight()

现在，在我的情况下，我需要这个来根据另一个元素的高度设置一个before元素的高度，它会在调整大小时发生变化，所以使用这个，我可以在每次窗口调整大小时运行setHeight()，它将正确地替换<style>。

希望这能帮助那些被困在做同样事情的人。

我有一些不同的东西给你，既简单又有效。

    <style> 
    .case-after:after { // set your properties here like eg: 
        color:#3fd309 !important; 
     } 
     .case-before:before { // set your properties here like eg: 
        color:#151715 !important; 
     }
 </style>
  // case for after
    $('#button-id').on('click', function() {
        $(".target-div").toggleClass('case-after');
    });

     // case for before
    $('#button-id').on('click', function() {
        $(".target-div").toggleClass('case-before');
    });

一种有效但不太有效的方法是在文档中添加带有新内容的规则，并用类引用它。根据需要，类可能需要为内容中的每个值提供唯一的id。

$("<style type='text/css'>span.id-after:after{content:bar;}</style>").appendTo($("head"));
$('span').addClass('id-after');

您可以创建一个伪属性，也可以使用一个现有的属性，并在伪元素的样式表中继承它。

var switched = false; // Enable color switching setInterval(function () { var color = switched ? 'red' : 'darkred'; var element = document.getElementById('arrow'); element.style.backgroundColor = color; // Managing pseudo-element's css // using inheritance. element.style.borderLeftColor = color; switched = !switched; }, 1000); .arrow { /* SET FICTIONAL PROPERTY */ border-left-color:red; background-color:red; width:1em; height:1em; display:inline-block; position:relative; } .arrow:after { border-top:1em solid transparent; border-right:1em solid transparent; border-bottom:1em solid transparent; border-left:1em solid transparent; /* INHERIT PROPERTY */ border-left-color:inherit; content:""; width:0; height:0; position:absolute; left:100%; top:-50%; } <span id="arrow" class="arrow"></span>

似乎它对“content”属性不起作用:(
