CSS3 selector question for all but first select

Question

With the following markup i want a CSS selector to select all but the first select menu within each options div - of which there may be many:

Answer 1

You need to select the option divs instead of the selects when using :not(:first-child), because every select is the first (and only) child of its parent div:

div.options > div:not(:first-child) > select

An alternative to :not(:first-child) is to use :nth-child() with a starting offset of 2, like this:

div.options > div:nth-child(n + 2) > select

Another alternative is with the general sibling combinator ~ (which is supported by IE7+):

div.options > div ~ div > select
