Applying Tag Style Only Within DIV 1

PCHomepage · Jun 14, 2014

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

For example, a style like this:

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?

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

CSS:

div p span {
/* CSS ruleset */
}

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

HTML:

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