Given the poor current browser css support for this, perhaps the best
thing would be to write a small bit of DOM script that would add a class
to that first li for you, on the fly, on page load. It would go
something like this:
function styleFirstLI(){ // by divaHTML.com
var d=document;
if (!d.getElementsByTagName()) return;
var zULs=d.getElementsByTagName('ul');
for (var i=0, len=zULs.length;i<len;i++){
var li=zULs[i].firstChild;
li.className='firstLI';
}
}
Watch for my typos.
Add a class 'firstLI' to your stylesheet.
Then call styleFirstLI() on page load, and of course after the uls have
been generated by your other scripts.
Hope that helps.

I need to target the 1st item in a list. However, to make things
complicated I can't assign a class or id to it. This is because of the
way that the code is generated.
So, given the following example code:
<h3 class="someClass">Heading Text</h3>
<ul class="someOtherClass">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
Is there a way that I can target the <li> for Item 1 without it having a
specific id or class assigned to it?
Thanks in anticipation.
