Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
Note:
The :blank

The :blank
CSS pseudo-class selects empty user input elements (e.g. <input>
or <textarea>
).
Syntax
:blank {
/* ... */
}
Examples
Basic :blank example
In eventual supporting browsers, the :blank
pseudo-class will enable developers to highlight in some way input controls that are not required, but still have no content filled in, perhaps as a reminder to users.
HTML
<textarea></textarea>
CSS
textarea:blank {
border: 3px solid red;
}
