精通CSS3中的 :nth-child 伪类选择器

Question

CSS 拥有很多选择器，其中伪类选择器是CSS3中心加入的，:nth-child 是众多伪类选择器中的一个，也是用法和变化最多的一种选择器，我们提供合适的参数，可以选择几乎所有任意的元素。

基本用法

可以设置一个具体的数字，选择某个指定数字索引的元素，注意这里的数字索引是从1开始计算，而不是我们通常认为的0。

:nth-child(8)

li:nth-child(8) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), inset 0 0 10px black;
}

当设置一个数字的时候，他允许你具体的选择某个元素。

范围选择

节点元素选择器不仅可以打个选择，也可以范围性选择，请看下面的示例。

:nth-child(n+6)

li:nth-child(n+6) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: inset -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), 0 0 10px black;
}

:nth-child(-n+9)

li:nth-child(-n+9) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: inset -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), 0 0 10px black;
}

nth-child(n+4):nth-child(-n+8)

li:nth-child(n+4):nth-child(-n+8) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: inset -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), 0 0 10px black;
}

nth-child(n+2):nth-child(odd):nth-child(-n+9)

li:nth-child(n+2):nth-child(odd):nth-child(-n+9) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: inset -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), 0 0 10px black;
}

nth-child(3n+1):nth-child(even)

li:nth-child(n+2):nth-child(odd):nth-child(-n+9) span {
    background-color: #298EB2;
    box-shadow: inset -3px -3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), 0 0 10px black;
}
