Reply To: Are div and div:nth-child(1) equivalent?

[Paulie_D]

With respect to Beverlyh this

div:nth-child(1) = the first div in a group of sibling div elements

Is not quite correct.

div:nth-child(1) = the first div which is also the first child of a parent.

For Beverleys exmaple to be true would need to be

div:nth-of-type(1) = the first div in a group of sibling div elements
