ToonMariner Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 the first will style ANY a tag that is a decendant of div.container ie <div class="container"> <a .... <div class="subcontainer"> <a .... </div> </div> the second should only work on an anchor tag that is a first child of div.container i.e. <div class="container"> <a .... </div> But not any anchor that is a child of a child of div.container.
