Answer 1

Either use CSS3's :not():

a:not([href]) {
    /* Styles for anchors without href */
}

Or specify a general style for all a, and one for a[href] to override it for those with the attribute.

a {
    /* Styles for anchors with and without href */
}

a[href] {
    /* Styles for anchors with href, will override the above */
}

For the best browser support (includes ancient but not quite forgotten browsers), use the :link and :visited pseudo-classes instead of the attribute selector (combining both will match the same as a[href]):

a {} /* All anchors */
a:link, a:visited {} /* Override */
