Add HTML code using CSS

html

<div id="mydiv"></div>

I want to add HTML code into this div (see following result I want) using ONLY CSS

<div id="mydiv"><a href="#">Lorem</a></div>

I think :after and :before are not helpful here!

CSS is not HTML. It is not possible to achieve that as CSS is not a markup language.

Just to add you can add content but not the element using :before or :after pseudo-element. Refer the specs

You can use content (just for text) in a couple of browsers but it's a really bad idea. Please solve this differently e.g. with Javascript, you'll need to for HTML anyway.

You shouldn't do this for many reasons.

Firstly its just wrong.

Secondly it is not possible.

Css is not for markup html is.

and I dont even understand why you would want to do this at all.
