I was doing some css today and was forced to change some syntax from:

input.cssClass

    Wow, that is an odd change. The first will collect all the inputs with class cssClass, while the second will take all inputs inside any element with cssClass.

    <body>
 <input class="cssClass" type="text" />
 <div class="cssClass">
   <input type="text" />
 </div>
</body>

    So here, the first input will be grabbed by your first selector, while the second input will be grabbed by your second selector. Neither selector will grab both.
