style every div after a certain div - css

I would like to change the style of all the entries following a certain div. See example. Is this possible with child selectors? Thanks!
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="entry">content</div>
<div class="entry">content</div>
<div class="CHANGE">content</div>
<div class="entry">content</div>
<div class="entry">content</div>
</div>


This selector :
div.CHANGE ~ div {your rules;}


For elements directly under div.wrapper.
div.wrapper > div {your rules;}

How to remove this <hr> with CSS

I need to use CSS to remove a horizontal line.
Here's the HTML:
<div id='page'>
<div id='header'>
</div>
<hr>
</div>
I tried using:
#page hr:first-child{display:none;}
But that doesn't work. I need to display other hr's so I can't just remove them all. I need to target just this one.

try this one
#page hr:first-of-type{display:none;}
this will hide the first hr that is a child of #page

Do it without :first-child (the first child of #page is #header)
#page > hr {display:none;}
<div id='page'>
<div id='header'>
</div>
<hr>
</div>
Note: The > isn't really necessary - it's just a bit more precise
Note: If there is more than one hr inside the same parent, you can use #page > hr:nth-of-type(x) {display:none;} , with x being the count for the hr inside the parent

How do i style two same class divs differently?

So basically I've got a setup that spits out the code in the following fashion..
<div class="parent">
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS"></div>
</div>
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS"></div>
</div>
</div> //close for the parent class
Now what I'm trying to do is to style "TARGETCLASS" that comes above one way and the "TARGETCLASS" that comes second in another way. I tried n-th child, but unable to achieve the result I'm looking for. There's no way to add additional classes or ID to the existing "TARGETCLASS" class. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting this question :)
Also, the "subparent" class also is same. for both the targetclass classes. That's the issue
Thanks in advance for taking your time to answer this question for me.
Cheers!

Looks like you've got some mal-formed tags in your html. And nth-child should work just fine. Also, make sure you place the nth-child selector on the subparent class, and not TARGETCLASS. It's common to mis-place the child selector. Try this:
<div class="parent">
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS">
first-child
</div>
</div>
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS">
second-child
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
.parent .subparent .TARGETCLASS {
background-color:#f00;
}
.parent .subparent:nth-child(1) .TARGETCLASS {
background-color:#0f0;
}
</style>
fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/8ejxokuj/

I would use nth-of-type selector like so:
.parent{}
.parent > .subparent {} //targets both subparents
.parent > .subparent:nth-of-type(2) {} //targets the second subparent
.parent > .subparent:nth-of-type(2) > .TARGETCLASS{} //targets the child of the second subparent
The nth-of-type() selector enables you to style a specific element amongst a series, in this case we targeted the second .subparent then specified the child we needed.
I hope this helps!

It seems, it is working by the nth child.
it is about how childrens are called. Not like "Ask parent to find nth child, but ask child, how far is he from parent"
.parent .subparent:nth-child(1) {background: #FEE; color:RED;}
.parent .subparent:nth-child(2) {background: #EEF; color:blue;}
<div class="parent">
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS">aaa</div>
</div>
<div class="subparent">
<div class="TARGETCLASS">bbb</div>
</div>
//close for the parent class
</div>

Select an element of his parent that is not immediately after his parent

I have this html code:
<div class="form-group well">
<p>...</p>
<hr>
<div class="select-skill">
...
</div>
<div class="select-skill">
...
</div>
<div class="select-skill">
...
</div>
<div class="select-skill">
...
</div>
</div>
And i want to set a style using css3 to second child that has select-skill class, but i cant use .select-skill:nth-child(2), It doesn't work.
I know the solution is to remove <p>...</p><h1> or move select-skill to a new parent.
Is there any solution to select this element without adding any code of html?

JSFiddle
You can use this:
.select-skill:nth-of-type(2){
background:red;
}
Or if there are more in different div's, you can do:
.form-group .select-skill:nth-of-type(2){
/*styles*/
}
instead.

Select only the second child of an element with CSS

I have something like this:
<div id="someID">
<div class="text">
-----other html tags
</div>
<div class="text">
-----other html tags
</div>
<div class="text">
-----other html tags
</div>
</div>
And some CSS for the text div. It is possible to set different CSS for the second div with the class of text?

You can easily do with with nth-child:
#someID .text:nth-child(2) {
background:red;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/P6FKf/

You can use the pseudo selector nth-child i.e div.text:nth-child(2)

Retrieve the 4th div tag inside the first row of a multirow div?

Here is the html I am working with. I want to write a css selector for the Item with text "DESIRED ELEMENT":
<div class="TopDiv">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span2">
<strong>Text1</strong>
</div>
<div class="span3">Text2</div>
<div class="span2">
<strong>Text3</strong>
</div>
<div class="span3">DESIRED ELEMENT</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span2">
<strong>Text4</strong>
</div>
<div class="span3">Text5</div>
<div class="span2">
<strong>Text6</strong>
</div>
<div class="span3">
<div>Text7</div>
<div>Text8</div>
<div>Text9</div>
<div>Text10</div>
<div>Text11</div>
<div>Text12</div>
<div>Text13</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am having a lot of trouble getting to the div that that I want because I don't completely understand the nth-child of type this or that or getting a child of a child.
I just want something that is nice and short that will retrieve the 4th div tag child of the first row after container.

The selector depends on if that is the order your elements are always in?
Anyway, you could use:
.row:first-child > .span3:last-child
This will select the last element with the class .span3 which is a child of the first .row.
jsFiddle here.
If you want to support last-child in IE8 and before, there is always Selectivizr.
One selector that should work in IE7/IE8 could be .row:first-child > .span3 ~ div.span3.
Only use this though if there are exactly two elements inside a row with the .span3 class.
jsFiddle here.
If it's not the last, but always the fourth, use .row:first-child > div:nth-child(4).
jsFiddle here.

the 4th div tag child of the first row after container.
The css translation of that will be:
after container
.container >
of the first row
.row:first-child >
the 4th div tag child
div:nth-child(4)
so in one line:
.container > .row:first-child > div:nth-child(4)
find the container class and in childs find the first row class and inside find the 4th div tag.
