CSS Selector for an Element that Contains Another Element

The requirement is to find a CSS selector that matches all OBJECT elements that contain a PARAM element within them. The following selector does not produce the desired result:

OBJECT PARAM

This selector matches the PARAM element, but not the OBJECT element. The objective is to hide the OBJECT element, not the PARAM element.

In CSS, there is no parent selector that allows for this type of matching. Parent selectors have been proposed in the past, but they have not been standardized and are not currently available in any widely supported browser.

Therefore, it is not possible to create a CSS rule that directly targets an object that contains a specific child element. Alternative solutions such as jQuery or vanilla JavaScript must be explored.
