Hi
I have a variable in my .scss file that I’d like to use in a pseudo selector, :nth-child(), I tried it and it didn’t go so well. I recieved the error
error stylesheets/scss/index.scss (Line 19: Invalid CSS after "...l>li:nth-child(": expected expression (e.g. fr, 2n+1), was "$child) {border...")
Here’s roughly what I want to do.
$tertiaryColor: white;
$navitems: 11;
@mixin mleftborder {
@if $navitems > 7 {
@if $navitems % 2 == 0 {
$child: ($navitems / 2) + 1;
#site>ul>li:nth-child($child) {border-left: 1px solid $tertiaryColor;}
}
}
}
Is this at all possible or do I have to find another way?
Nothing?
I’m not really sure about the reasoning behind it, but for this you’ll have to use #{$child}
:
#site>ul>li:nth-child(#{$child})
Thank you precisely what I needed and the reason behind it is, I’m just beginning to use sass and I want to see what it can do. That and it will save me about 5 keystrokes everytime I want to make a certain type of updates to my test site.
I actually meant the reason behind the format (#{$child}) instead of just ($child). ;)
Ah… oops, well now you know that anyway. :)
