Hi, Daniel, the best I can come up with is to target the last child in the following markup.
div.section p:last-child {} <div class="section"> <h2>Header</h2> <p>First paragraph</p> <p>Last paragraph</p> </div> <div class="section"> <h2>Another header</h2> </div> I suggest you to have a look on browser compatibility tables: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html#t35 The last-child selector is not supported until IE 9. Therefore I would simply use the following: p.last-child {} <h2>Header</h2> <p>First paragraph</p> <p class="last-child">Last paragraph</p> -- >{U}(")> Čimo Michal Čizmazia On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 11:29, Daniel Baars <i...@danielbaars.nl> wrote: > > Hello, > > Is there a way in CSS to match a first element which is the PREVIOUS > sibling to the second element? > > Example: I want to target the paragraph before every header. > > <h2>Header</h2> > <p>First paragraph</p> > <p>Last paragraph</p> <!-- I want to style this paragraph --> > <h2>Another header</h2> > > After quite a bit of Google-ing it doesn't seem possible but I don't > understand why.
