The quick friendly answer is: child selectors; yes. attribute
selectors; not as far as I can see. It's only a beta so this may change.

The longer (for you) and more abrasive answer is: why don't you download
it and see for yourself.

My tests with attribute selectors show that they are supported. I've
only tested basic stuff like p[id] and p[lang="en"] but that seems to
be working okay. This is with 7.0.5346.5

Yep, sorry, you're right. I messed up the CSS when I was trying it.

How do you know that he has a supported OS?

That was meant as a joke. Not very clear I'll admit.

Too many people that are totally ignorant of the existance of other systems
might well post something like that. So it's probably something best not
posted, unless you add an appropriate caveat or smiley.

Are you now going to post back to every one of my posts? That's called
spam.

It's a pain to run two IE versions on the same box and I don't
remember where the instructions for making your own bonus version.

I was actually wondering about the trick of a hiding a style from IE6
and whether it worked on IE7.

What I'm really doing is this:

<div>
<img ... style="float: left (or right)" class="img">
<p>...

This is CMS generated.


In every browser except IE6 the top of the text lines up with the
top of the image. In IE6 it's maybe 10px (I don't know whether IE7 does
that.) down, so:

..img{margin-top: 10px}
div > .img {margin-top: 0px}

I'm running win2000 and OSX and the usual assortment of relatively
common browsers (IE, NS, Moz, FireFox, Safari, Opera).

Yes you can still use conditional comments
