html - Select all elements before element with class?

Question

In CSS is it possible to select all elements before an element with a given class?

Example HTML:

<div>
    <a href>One</a>
    <a href>Two</a>
    <a href>Three</a>
    <a href class="active">Four</a>
    <a href>Five</a>
</div>

And CSS:

.active:(all-before) {
    border-left: solid 1px #C0FFEE;
}

So links 'One', 'Two', and 'Three' would would have a left border but 'Four' and 'Five' would not.

Answer 1

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  border-left: 1px solid black;
}

a.active, a.active ~ * {
  border: none;
}

<div>
    <a href>One</a>
    <a href>Two</a>
    <a href>Three</a>
    <a href class="active">Four</a>
    <a href>Five</a>
</div>
