CSS:Descendant selectors
From MDC
« CSS « CSS Reference
[edit] Summary
The ␣ combinator (that's meant to represent a space) separates two selectors and matches the 2nd element if it is a descendant of the 1st. It is similar to the child selectors element, but doesn't require that the descendant be a direct child of the parent.
[edit] Syntax
selector1 selector2 { style properties }
