My question might not be perfectly phrased, for which I apologize. Is there a CSS method to select only the first child of an element without affecting others that are not grouped under the same parent? For instance:
<div class="parent">
<div class="littlekid">
</div>
<div class="parent">
<div class="littlekid">
</div>
<div class="parent">
<div class="littlekid">
</div>
Let's assume I want the initial "littlekid" class in the very first "parent" element to be red, while all others should be blue. I have experimented with various selectors like first-child, nth-of-type, nth-child, and first-of-type but none have worked as expected. Instead, they end up styling all instances of the "littlekid" class. Also, I can't add an extra class to the first "littlekid" to differentiate it. Is JavaScript the solution for this problem?
