Hi David,
Actually, if you see my other reply (to Tim Snadden). The way I had
structured the selector was incorrect.
The selector of...
div#sidebar:first-child > * {margin-top: 0;}
...would NEVER work, because it is seleting the div#sidebar that is the
first-child of it's parent element. What I needed was...
div#sidebar > *:first-child {margin-top: 0;}
...for it to work.
I had misread an explanation of the implementation on one of the popular CSS
sites (can't remember which one now). When I saw Tim's message and then
looked at the specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-child), I realized my error.
Thanks!
...Rob
