Answer 1

To build on the other guys answers, an alternative could be to use javascript to fill the gaps, selectivizr is a good example of adding last-child support.

Answer 2

Where did you read that? :first-child is supported back to IE7, but :last-child is IE9 and later.

Answer 3

I know its old but...there is a simple way to do it:

Just in the li you want the change do this:

<li style="yourstyle;">...</li>

Answer 4

Try to use something like that:

.footerMenu li {background-color: expression(this.previousSibling==null?'red':'green');}

Answer 5

You read it wrong. It says that it's not supported in IE8:

If you were looking at :first-child, which does have support in IE7 and IE8, and thinking that the same applies to :last-child... surprise! It doesn't.

:first-child is a CSS2 selector, but :last-child was only introduced in CSS3, so since Microsoft was only aiming for CSS2.1 compliance with IE8, they likely didn't bother about :last-child until post-IE8.

If you know you will only have four li elements, then you should be able to use adjacent sibling selectors to reach the fourth li:

.footerMenu li:first-child + li + li + li

Answer 6

The link you provided shows that it isn't supported for IE8... IE9+ only. Googling last-child IE8 brings up a whole host of similar queries.
