Thanks for the codepen Krish1980
*sigh* you are correct TheDoc, HugoGiraudel, yeah I was using :first-of-type at the start and that worked really well, but I needed to make it IE7 friendly, so should I just add a class to that first ul and style that class? basically everything within the description div is editable with a wysiwyg text editor from the backend by the board of directors of the event, and they do not know coding at all, so if they update the description content and remove the first ul and then add it back in they end up braking the layout because the ul with the class was removed and added backin without the class applied to it, so I was trying to future proof the description layout. But I guess I will have to apply a class to that first ul to make IE7-8 happy.
