IE6 and first-child

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 07.2008

I realize that IE6 does not support the CSS first-child selector. I was just wondering if there was a work around for this, or a hack that would work to give IE6 the same functionality as other browsers have with first-child.

Using in all other browsers:

[CODE]#subnav ul li:first-child a[/CODE]

I need to do something similar but only for IE6. I have seen some examples that use an expression in the ie6.css file, but I am not sure if that will work here.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Well, in our case it is about 60 different uls! ?

Success!
