change parent style if has a specified children in css

Question

I have an html element that can have either a child with id='slideshow'

<div id='content'>
   <div id='slideshow'>
   </div>
</div>

or a different child

<div id='content'>
   <div id='other'>
   </div>
</div>

I want to apply a style to #content only if it has a child #slideshow.

Is it possible?

Unfortunately this is not (yet?) possible in CSS alone. You can however do it with a couple of lines in jquery or almost any other javascript framework.
