I downloaded a framework and they are using this as a css selector:

#Footer .footerTop

Why not just use:

.footerTop

Are they the same, or selection is different?

    #Footer .footerTop only applies to the .footerTop within #Footer

    <div id="Footer">
  <div class="footerTop">I qualify</div>
</div>
<div id="Copyright">
  <div class="footerTop">I don't qualify</div>
</div>

    Using just .footerTop would apply rules to both of the inner DIV elements, losing its specificity.
