I wondered if there is a better solution than to what I found without changing the html-structure
The HTML structure looks like this
<div class="wrap">
<div class="divider"></div>
<div class="block"></div>
<div class="block"></div>
<div class="divider"></div>
</div>
So there's various DIVs on the same level, what I want to do is to color every fourth block differently, until a divider appears, then it'd have to recount.
I thought something like .block:nth-child(4n) would do the trick, but it actually counts the elements based on the parent, not based on the class.
Here's the JSFiddle to try out. Block #4 and #8 in each row should be differently colored http://jsfiddle.net/SKgdH/3/
And this is how I made it sort-of work: http://jsfiddle.net/SKgdH/1/
What I did was to look for the 4th sibling of the .divider like this .divider + .block + .block + .block + .block
It works, however, I'd have to write the same for the 8th, 12th, 16th, .. block, which doesn't make it automatic anymore.
Is there something like .divider + .block:nth-sibling(4) or .divider + .block:nth-of-class(4)?
Maybe one of you got an idea on how to solve this without changing the source code or using javascript.
