nth-child

I have a very long text and I need to hide everything except the first two paragraphs. For various reasons I'd rather not use jquery for this site. Can this be done with css only? I know nth-child most likely will do the trick but I'm having troubles coming up with a specific rule.

<div class="text">
<p>display<p>
<p>display</p>
<p>hide from this point</p>
<p>...</p>
</div>

Is it possible to get the nth-child pseudo-selector to work with a specific class? See this example: http://jsfiddle.net/fZGvH/ I want to have the second DIV.red turn red, but it doesn't apply the color as expected. Not only that, but when you specify this, it changes the 5th DIV to red: div.red:nth-child(6) When… >>> More
