Level Up Your CSS Game with :nth-child() Mastery 🎨✨
Struggling to target specific elements without cluttering your HTML with extra classes? Say hello to your new best friend: :nth-child()! It's your secret weapon for clean, precise styling.
Here’s a quick guide to supercharge your selectors:
🔹 :nth-child(2) → Targets the 2nd element.
🔹 :nth-child(odd) → Styles 1st, 3rd, 5th… (Great for zebra-striping tables!).
🔹 :nth-child(even) → Selects 2nd, 4th, 6th…
🔹 :nth-child(4n) → Every 4th element (Think quarterly highlights!).
🔹 :nth-child(3n+1) → Every 3rd element, starting from the 1st (1, 4, 7…).
🔹 :nth-child(-n+5) → The first 5 elements only.
🔹 :nth-child(n+6) → Everything from the 6th element onward.
