[WEB4LIB] Using CSS to style the first occurence of an elemen t nested within

[Broun, Kevin (NIH/NCI)]

I think you want the ":first-child" pseudo-class, but note that this is a
CSS2 recommendation that's not supported in MSIE (yet).  Probably better to
class those td's, bummer that it may be. This page, among many others,
documents this <http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp>.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Using CSS to style the first occurence of an element
nested within

Hi,

I'm attempting to style the first table cell within certain table rows.
I'm using the following CSS instructions. The table cells do not have a
class attribute.

tr.selectedclass td:first-node{color:green;}

However, this is not working.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Regards
John
