#field:focus + #mark1 {display: none;} #field:focus + #mark1 + mark2 {display: block;} all nice. The pics change if I enter the entry field. #link:hover:first-child{ background-image: url('excl.png'); } Cool. The image inside the link changes when hovered over. But if I wanted to change borders around a table containing my #field? Or place a rollover image before the #link ? Still no :parent or '-' (previous sibling) selectors?

  Hehe... strange. I was going to mention this *exact* same thing.

  
  Why the heck does nobody consider whether I want to select parents?! It's all children and siblings... or as Carl Sagan would put it, "turtles all the way down".

  
  It wouldn't be hard, I think the clearest way to implement the syntax would be something like:

  
  ul li {ul} li ul li
  OR
  ul li ul {li ul li}

  
  Everything after the {ul} OR everything in the {...} is treated like a predicate, plain and simple.

    Swich that syntax to {{...}} for obvious reasons
