sass first-child not working

Question

I have not been using SASS for a very long time and wanted to know if there are some issues with pseudo-elements such as  first-child or  last-child

User · Answer

First of all  there are still browsers out there that don t support those pseudo-elements  ie   first-child   last-child   so you have to  deal  with this issue    There is a good example how to make that work without using pseudo-elements      http   www darowski com tracesofinspiration 2010 01 11 this-newbies-first-impressions-of-haml-and-sass         nbsp  nbsp  nbsp  nbsp  nbsp  nbsp  nbsp -- see the divider pipe example    I hope that was useful

I think that it is better  for my expirience  to use   first-of-type   nth-of-type     last-of-type  It can be done whit a little changing of rules  but I was able to do much more than whit  -of-type  than  -child selectors

While  Andre is correct that there are issues with pseudo elements and their support  especially in older  IE  browsers  that support is improving all the time   As for your question of  are there any issues  I d say I ve not really seen any  although the syntax for the pseudo-element can be a bit tricky  especially when first sussing it out  So   div top-level   declarations        div inside     declarations           amp  first-child       declarations        which compiles as one would expect   div top-level    declarations      div top-level div inside     declarations      div top-level div inside first-child     declarations        I haven t seen any documentation on any of this  save for the statement that  sass can do everything that css can do   As always  with Haml and SASS the indentation is everything
