Request For Enhancement - CSS3 Selectors - Parent combinators. A parent combinator describes a parenthood relationship between two elements. A parent combinator is made of the "less-than sign" (<) character and separates two sequences of simple selectors. Example: The following selector represents a <section> element that is parent of an <h> element: h < section This would allow you to do something like the following: h < section { padding-top: 0; } That rule would eliminate the padding at the top of any <section> containing an <h> element, such as the first <section> in the following document fragment: <body> <section> <h>My Example Heading</h> <p>Example paragraph text.</p> </section> <section> <p>Example paragraph text.</p> <p>Example paragraph text.</p> <p>Example paragraph text.</p> </section> </body> On a related note, an "Ascendant combinator" ('/' ?) might be a nice touch too. Though, unlike Parent, I personally haven't bumped into the want for one yet. -- Chris Hubick mailto:chris@hubick.com http://www.hubick.com/Received on Friday, 24 January 2003 19:14:24 GMT
