For a descendant selector with asterisk.... say el1 * el2 the rule should apply only when el2 is grandchild or further removed. it should not apply to a child element Unfortunately this is not true for Amaya 9.99 on WinXP //------- test case ----------- <?xml version="1.1" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head><title>Descendants:VE3LL@RAC.CA</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/> <style type="text/css"> span {color:red} div * span {color:blue} </style> </head><body><h1>Descendants:VE3LL@RAC.CA</h1> <p>el1 * el2 descendant selectors should not work if the el2 element is a child element. Only grandchildren and further down the chain should react to rule. However Amaya 9.99 allows child element to get the style.</p> <div><span>Hello!</span></div> </body></html> -- -- John Russell, VE3LL@COGECO.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll http://home.cogeco.ca/~trains http://home.cogeco.ca/~cipherReceived on Tuesday, 20 November 2007 16:49:47 UTC
