No, they have the same specificity. Where in the spec does it say otherwise? The only reason "ul>li" would override "ul li" is if it comes later in the cascade. Try this following test case: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>CSS Test: Specificty of Child vs Descendant Combinators</title> <style type="text/css"><!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/ div#test1 p { color: red; } div#test1>p { color: green; } div#test2>p { color: red; } div#test2 p { color: green; } /*]]>*/--></style> </head> <body> <div id="test1"> <p>Test 1: Descendant Combinator before Child Combinator</p> </div> <div id="test2"> <p>Test 2: Child Combinator before Descendant Combinator</p> </div> </body> </html> Both should produce green text. I tested in Firefox and IE, and got the expected results: Firefox passed, IE Failed miserably. -- Lachlan Hunt lachlan.hunt@lachy.id.au http://www.lachy.id.au/Received on Thursday, 8 July 2004 01:42:06 UTC
