Question

Here is my code snippet:

<div class="totals">
        <table id="shopping-cart-totals-table">
    <col />
    <col width="1" />
    <tfoot>
        <tr>
    <td style="" class="a-right" colspan="1">

        <strong>Grand Total</strong>
    </td>
    <td style="" class="a-right">
        <strong><span class="price">$364.99</span></strong>
    </td>
</tr>
    </tfoot>
    <tbody>

        <tr>
    <td style="" class="a-right" colspan="1">
        Subtotal    </td>
    <td style="" class="a-right">
        <span class="price">$354.99</span>    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td style="" class="a-right" colspan="1">

        Shipping & Handling (Flat Rate - Fixed)    </td>
    <td style="" class="a-right">
        <span class="price">$10.00</span>    </td>
</tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Is there a way to select the span displaying “$10.00”? Perhaps selecting the 2nd occurrence of an element? I.E.: The second time “.totals table tbody tr td[colspan=”]” occurs?

Answer 1

With CSS3’s :nth-child() it’s easy to fulfill the “specific” criterion:

#shopping-cart-totals-table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(2) .price

Or, an alternative that works more in favor of browser compatibility (does not use CSS3 selectors, assumes exactly two trs and two tds):

#shopping-cart-totals-table > tbody > tr + tr > td + td .price
