Question

I applied a style to a buttonfield in a details view called ProductDetailsEditButton. I thought the name of the selector would thus be td .ProductDetailsEditButton but this didn’t work. However, when I called it td.ProductDetailsEditButton (without the space), it did work.

Does there have to be a space between the two or not? Is that always the case or does it depend? Sorry, but it seems inconsistent in the naming convention and I want to know what I’m overlooking.

Answer 1

When there is a space it means that the selector will match child elements of a <td> that have class="ProductDetailsEditButton". For example:

<td>
    <div class="ProductDetailsEditButton">Button</div>
</td>

When there is no space it will match <td class="ProductDetailsEditButton">.
