Question

Okay, I have the following CSS:

.gridViewStyle tr th, .gridViewStyle tr td {
    padding: 5px;
}

And it’s working as expected and applying the padding to both the th and td elements. However, do I really have to declare the fully qualified path multiple times? Or in other words, is there a more concise way of doing the same thing?

UPDATE

SPECIFICITY

In regards to specificity, I cannot have this applied to other tables, it must strictly be applied to the grid view with this CSS class.

Answer 1

Depending on specificity, you don’t need anything more than th { or td {.

It just depends if you have another table or not. th, td { would be the shortest way if you don’t. If you do, that tr is doing nothing (as all th and td should be inside a row, so remove it)
