The 'a' is an element inside the 'p' element. What > you wrote (with the space) is the same as what was described in the prose. "p :matches(a:hover)" does not "select a P tag that contains an element matching 'a:hover' in it". It matches an a:hover with a <p> ancestor. The two are very different. To select a <p> containing an a:hover, you have to use :has, like "p:has(a:hover)". ~TJ
