Newly Supported CSS Selectors in IE7, and a Practical Exam

Newly Supported CSS Selectors in IE7

Now that IE7 has been released and has begun to penetrate into the userbase, it won’t be too long before we can start using more advanced CSS in our pages. Two of the most useful items will be the Child and Adjacent Sibling combinators. These were briefly covered in a couple of Adrian Senior’s articles on the Child combinator and Sibling combinator. But now that it is about to become feasible to use them for real web pages, it is time to delve more deeply into the subject.  Even though these two combinators have been part of the W3C CSS specifications for some time, their lack of support has keep most Web developers from putting them to full use.

A great walk through to help developers begin using these “new” selectors that are available in IE7. I say “new” because these are only new to IE7, any other modern web browser has been using these CSS selectors for years now… way to go guys, you caught up with a product from 2 years ago.

If you’re interested in playing around with CSS selectors to get a feel for them check out this very cool website, Playing with CSS Selectors (entirely in your web browser). Very cool and useful stuff.
