Question

I have seen the syntax:

ul#nav li a
{
}

And im not really sure what it means, is it the same as saying:

#nav ul li a

?

I guess I dont really understand what it means to have an element type before an id selector with no space…

Answer 1

ul#nav will apply to <ul id="nav">

whereas:

#nav ul will apply to any <ul> within the <tag id="nav">
