I have the following piece of code: .x-border-box, .x-border-box *{ box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box;

I have the following piece of code:

.x-border-box,
.x-border-box *{
  box-sizing: border-box;
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -ms-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; }    

Now my question is, what is the * doing there?

As per http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html , it matches any element.

whether it is there or not DOES seem to have some impact on my code though…

    It does exactly what you said: It matches all descendants of .x-border-box.
