I have a question, I would like to know, how can I apply a CSS to only first-child of a class, I am aware of :first-child CSS selector, but I am not able to use it.
I want to apply border-top to all the div with class "b" except the first one, here is sample HTML
<div class="a">
<div class="b"></div>
<div class="b"></div>
<div class="b"></div>
</div>How can I do it?

Yes, as you have heard of :first-child, we can use it and apply a different CSS style to first one, so as for your requirement, CSS code should be
.a > .b {
border-top: 5px solid black
}
.a > .b:first-child {
border-top: none
}In the above CSS code, we are first giving border-top to all the child element of "a" class which has "b" class, in the second line of the code we are removing border-top from the only first-child element of "a" class which has "b" class.
The :first-child selector allows you to target the first element immediately inside another element, it is used to style content based on its relationship with parent and sibling content.
