Hi The :nth-of-type and similar selectors are really great but is there reason why we don't have a selector equivalent to document.getElementsByTagName? A selector like ":nth" that would only ever select zero or one element in comparison to :nth-of-type or similar which can select zero or more elements. For example li:nth(7) would be equivalent to document.getElementsByTagName('li')[6] I for one would find this useful in making my CSS more robust and easier to write, for example take this very rough and contrived scenario: Document 1: <h1></h1> <h1></h1> Document 2: <p></p> <div><h1></h1></div> <h1></h1> Document 3: <div> <div> <h1></h1> </div> </div> <h1></h1> In this example I want to ensure that the first h1 always has less of a margin above it (or conversely I want to ensure that any subsequent h1s have more of a margin above them) and importantly I have no control over the markup I'm receiving. There may be are other use-cases for a selector equivalent to document.getElementsByTagName. all the best DaveReceived on Friday, 9 November 2012 10:33:56 UTC
