ie. i have the following:

<div class="myclass">my text1</div>
some other code+containers...

<div class="myclass">my text2</div>
some other code+containers...

<div class="myclass">my text3</div>
some other code+containers...

i have the css class div.myclass {doing things} that applies to all obviously but i also wanted to be able to select the first, second or third like this:

div.myclass:first {color:#000;} 
div.myclass:second {color:#FFF;} 
div.myclass:third {color:#006;}

almost like the jQuery index selection .eq( index ) which is what i am using currently but need a noscript alternative. Thanks in advance!
