Displaying the first 3 list items and hiding the r

问题:

Is it possible to select multiple children past a defined number with CSS selectors?

I'd like to hide all list items past #3:

<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li> //hide this
<li>5</li> //hide this
</ul>

ul li:nth-child(X) {  
          display:none;
        }

I do not know which browser supports this, but you can pass a formula to :nth-of-type():

ul li:nth-of-type(1n+4) {display: none;} /* should match your case */

Further details on: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_nth-of-type.asp

Edit

I altered it from (n+4) to (1n+4) since the first version works but isn't valid. I use this in media queries to hide cut-down items on smaller screens.

Example:

b:nth-of-type(1n+4){ opacity:.3; }
