How can I get all element's immediate children with css selectors using selenium?

Question

I already tried using the ">" syntax but selenium does not accept it, I know there is a way to get it using Xpath but our entire project is written using CSS selectors.

I am trying to store a list that will contain all immediate children of an element but not their children (descendants), when I use the "*" syntax I get all the element's descendants.

You should specify a tag to start from... if you want "all element's immediate children" , you would simply get all elements, which isn't really what you want.

To get "all immediate children of an element but not their children" for body , use body > * .

Or another example, to get all direct descendants of <div id='question'> , use div#question > * .
