I tried everything. I even tested it in combination with opera and mozilla.
(I use IE 6 mostly)
It's reduced to the simple example below.
Please tell me what is wrong with my understaning of child selectors! I
realy dont know :(
<html>
<head>
<style>
p > span { background-color: blue }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
hello
<span>why isnt this blue? </span>
hello
</p>
</body>
</html>
Thank you,

Works here (Opera), won't work in IE as it doesn't support child
selectors.

And if you were using it on purpose to hide it from IE, than
avoid the spaces around >, for IE5.0 will apply the style if
you leave spaces.

What version of Opera did you test? It's blue in Opera 6.05 and 7.23.
IE doesn't understand child selectors though. They've only been around
for about 6 years, and Microsoft can't react that fast.

Could it be it's just the ';' thats missing? (not tested)

Really? I never knew this. Now why on earth die M$ mess this up in the
release of IE6.0?
No, 5.5 already :-)
I think that IE5.0 doesn't really understand it, but fails
to see the >.
Then 5.5 saw it, but doesn't understand so doesn't apply,
idem for 6.0.
But that's just my thinking, as I'm not sure if IE 5.0
really gets the difference between just the child or another
descendant.

No, IE5 will interpret "foo > bar" like "foo bar" that is incorrect too.

If we could answer *that* kind of question, we wouldn't be here on

IE5/*Win* will interpret foo > bar as "foo bar"...

Some questions answer themselves. :-)
Seriously, IE has really dreadful CSS support. Child selectors don't
work at all, for instance.
Can you blame anyone for using IE6 ? I mean what could we do ?
I really tried Netscape, which I couldn't believe it's free, but it has
drawbacks anacceptable for me :(
it has a horrible fullscreen mode, which it happens I use often to read
docs (it locks my autohide taskbar, the fullscreen is not really *full*
screen and it has no automenus and toolbar) and it has his own Favourites
(or bookmarks). Why doesn't it get also the Windows Explorer favourites ?
Sorry, I know this is off-topic

Yes, it is. You might try asking about such things in a Netscape group.
I would have emailed you with more about Netscape, but I cannot figure
out if your email address is real or not. It looks fake. (If you want to
the response, email me, but remove "invalid" from the end of my email

Thx for all the replies guys. It seems this is a nice usenet group :)
IE just doesnt support child selectors. It's a shame that MS doenst make
this work.
I recommend Opera cause it has good css support and I use IE only if the
site doesnt support opera.
These sites are mostly owned by MS. Probably no coincidence.
Its free if you can live with the banner. Defenitly worth a try!
