@Edwin, Thanks for your comment! I really can’t wait for the day that we don’t have to be concerned about IE6 anymore. There are so many great techniques out there that can’t be used yet, because of IE6.

Really cool, never heard of this function before. A pitty that - as almost always - ie6 doesn’t support this…

[…] CSS Adjacent-Sibling Selector - Something I started using a few months back, especially since I always define my margins for most elements, it’s handy to drop the margin-top of p tags when they fall directly underneath a heading tag. Remember, no IE 6 support, but also remember jQuery could take care of this all for you if you want cross-browser support. […]

@NatalieMac,
You’re absolutely right. There are so much uses of these selectors and still they are so less used. According to this reference on westciv the adjacent-sibling selector is not supported by IE6 or lower. But it will be safe to use this is the near future, if less people use IE6. And you can always add css for the lower versions of IE with conditional comments.

Thanks for your comment

@Nick, thanks for your comment! I must say that this selector is supported by IE7 (and IE8) so IE6 is the only problem with this method.

A lot of these extremely useful but not commonly used CSS selectors aren’t commonly used because of the serious shortcomings of Internet Explorer 6, and to a lesser extent Internet Explorer 7. With IE8 promising to be fully CSS 2.1 compliant, it will be useful indeed to know all these selectors and to make use of them as IE6 fades into the background.

Great job in keeping these selectors in the forefront of people’s minds.

This is a wonderful method for targeting elements just only works in browsers that support CSS2 fully **cough not IE**
