Can CSS detect the number of children an element has?

Question

I\'m probably answering my own question, but I\'m extremely curious.

I know that CSS can select individual children of a parent, but is there support to style the ch

Answer 1

yes we can do this using nth-child like so

div:nth-child(n + 8) {
    background: red;
}

This will make the 8th div child onwards become red. Hope this helps...

Also, if someone ever says "hey, they can't be done with styled using css, use JS!!!" doubt them immediately. CSS is extremely flexible nowadays

In the example the first 7 children are blue, then 8 onwards are red...
