Filtering by Relationships
Relationship selector list
The position selectors are:
Selector | Description |
---|---|
:first-child | Selects all elements that are the fi rst child of their parent. |
:last-child | Selects all elements that are the last child of their parent. |
:nth-child() | Selects all elements that are the nth-child of their parent. |
:only-child | Selects all elements that are the only child of their parent. |
nth-child
filter starts at 1
The following code demonstrates the use of filter selectors that match according to specific
relationships, for example :first-child
or :only-child
.
