:first-of-type / :last-of-type – not isolating individual element

[Toby39]

Hi guys,
I am an old Studiopress customer and I have a question about modifying the Genesis-Sample theme. I have already tried to modify the CSS in what I thought was the correct way, but it doesn't seem to work, so I though this might be something unique to Genesis.

I am trying to modify the ".nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu a {" to add an exception for the FIRST menu item, like so ".nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu a:first-of-type {"

.nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu a {
margin-left: 30px;
}
.nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu a:first-of-type {
margin-left: 0px;
}

However, I notice that whatever I set for ":first-of-type" ends up applying to ALL the menu items, not just the first.

I have tried to apply this method to various other selectors, all to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hey, thanks Brad.

.nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu > li:first-of-type ... worked a charm.
