Handige CSS selectors

E F Matches any F element that is a descendant of an E element.

E > F Matches any F element that is a child of an element

E.

E + F Matches any F element immediately preceded by a

sibling element E.

E:first-child Matches element E when E is the first child of its

parent.

E[foo] Matches any E element with the "foo"

attribute set (whatever the value).

E[foo="warn"] Matches any E element whose "foo" attribute value

is exactly equal to "warn".

E[foo~="warn"] Matches any E element whose "foo" attribute value

is a list of space-separated values, one of which

is exactly equal to "warn".
