Any way to say this in css3 for modern browsers ie8+ ?

[PicnicTutorials]

I need to say my h1 has 1.8em bottom margin. But if it has #date id directly after the h1 has bottom margin zero? And instead the #date has the bottom margin of 1.8em? I'm strongly guessing a big fat no but thought I'd ask - maybe some css3 thing.

An easy solution might be to target a #date element that follows an h1 with

h1 + #date {}

and then give the date element a bottom margin and a negative top margin to pull it up.

I'd do it the way Ralph suggests because as yet there is no parent selector in CSS.

Ya thats what i figured. Ok thanks guys.

as yet there is no parent selector in CSS.

Or previous sibling.. Lea Verou said there's something in Selectors4 for that, but whether browsers will implement it is another story. Devs can help by pushing it.
