html5 first child,*:first-child+html

*:first-child+html CSS Hack

If the background color of this paragraph is green (a darker

green than this page's background) then the hack was applied.

Example Code

p.test {

background-color: #f66;

}

*:first-child+html p.test {

background-color: #6f6;

}

Note: IE5.5/Win and IE6/Win will ignore any rule that

use this selector hack, even if there are multiple selector chains, each

separated by a comma, and one of the others would normally apply to an element

in the document. This is a very serious parser bug. This is demonstrated in the

second test below.

If the background color of this paragraph is green then

the hack works. If this is yellow then the browser supports the "* html"

(star html) hack, but ignores the second rule.

Note: IE5.0/Win will apply this if there

is a space on the left side of the adjacent sibling selector (+).
