Css exclude

[ladybug]

Hey so there is something like this

<div1>
	<div2>
    	<div3>
        	<div4>

well it doesn't appear right but these are 4 divs which are in div1 all of them are inside div1. I need to select div1 without div3 for example. Can I do that(they all have different classes)? Also let's say the part that is div1 without div3 cannot be selected on its own. So how do I do that? I really need a way to do that.

I have a very hard time understanding what you're trying to do. I guess it's the same for others. What is your actual goal here?

 

Could you elaborate a bit more what it is you're trying to do? Are you talking about selecting stuff in a text editor/IDE or are you talking about selecting stuff on the resulting web page?

I assume you mean you have four divs in total and three of them are inside the first div, e.g.

<div> #1
  <div> #2
    <div> #3
      <div> #4
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I think they're talking about selectors within the stylesheet, i.e. they want to apply a style to the outer div without one of its children inheriting that style.
