Applying Tag Style Only Within DIV

Applying Tag Style Only Within DIV

Applying Tag Style Only Within DIV

(OP)
Is there some way to apply a general tag style only with the tags are within a DIV?

For example, a style like this:

CODE --> CSS

table, td, tr {
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
} 

needs to be applied only when the table is inside a pair of DIV tags but I'm not sure how parent/child relations are created for multiple elements. Any ideas?

RE: Applying Tag Style Only Within DIV



The commas mean that the rules to ALL of the specified elements
Without commas will create an hiearchial structure (called "Combinators"

CODE --> CSS

div p span {
/* CSS ruleset */
} 

the above will apply to a span in a paragraph in a division.

CODE --> HTML

<div>
    <p>
        <span> the rules apply here</span>
    </p>
</div>
