Multiple Pseudo Classes on a Single Selector

Question

Is the following CSS syntax valid?

a:first-child:hover { background-color: transparent; }

If so, what is the compatibility as far as browsers? For example, is it compatible in IE8, IE6+, Firefox 4, Chrome, etc.

Answer 1

Combo first-child and :hover is correct(IE6 recognize only last pseudo-class in the chain):

div span:first-child:hover {
  color: red;
}

<div>
  <span>asdasd</span>
  <span>asdasd</span>
  <span>asdasd</span>
</div>
