Select first list in table - CSS first-child?

Question

maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. I'm have a table with 6 columns, each with an ordered list in. I want them all to have a border except for the first list. The site is in development here Basically though the html is ```

hello

hello

hello

``` I thought the first-child of tr would work like so `tr:first-child ol {style}`

Accepted Answer

The `:first-child` selector is CSS2 and isn't supported on IE6. If IE6 is important then you'll need to give the first child a class you can select on instead. But the correct syntax is:

```
tr td:first-child ol { ... }
```

When you do:

```
tr:first-child ...
```

you're actually selecting `<tr>` elements that are first children. Also be aware that:

```
tr :first-child ...
```

is selecting the first children of table rows.
