CSS3 selector question for all but first select

Solution 1:

See: http://jsfiddle.net/uDvEt/1/

.options > div:not(:first-child) select { background:yellow;}

Solution 2:

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

Solution 3:

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