Question

I am finishing some WordPress web page and I want to style (with CSS) the roll of entries in the Posts page. WordPress creates this:

<div class="entry">

There are loads of these elements in the page, to separate them I used border at the bottom of the entry. The problem is that I don’t want this border on the last entry. Can be anything like that done in CSS? (Note that it’s not a list so I can’t use pseudo-classes)

Here’s my CSS, it’s pretty simple:

.entry{  border-bottom: 1px solid yellow; }

HTML:

<div id="wrapper">
  <br />
  there are loads of code
  <br />
  <div class="entry">bunch of code there</div>
  <br />
  <div class="entry">bunch of code there</div>
  <br />
  <div class="entry">bunch of code there</div>
  <br />
  another huge code
  <br />
</div>

Thanks in advance for your help.

You’ve already named what you’re looking for: last-child: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/pseudoclass-lastchild

So use .entry:not(:last-child) { border-bottom: 1px solid yellow; }

Note that it´s not a list so I can´t use pseudo-classes)

JSYK, the pseudoclass does not depend on the containing element being a list. If you meant that the final .entry element is not actually the last child of its container, it may still be possible to select it. But I can’t tell you how unless you show me what the actual markup looks like.

If your final div.entry is not followed by any other divs, then the selector .entry:not(:last-of-type) will work for you.
