Could anyone shed some light?spaces have meaning in CSS. unless you were trying to style <body id="infoSidebar">, your first attempt woul not have selected anything: foo#bar selects an element foo with an id of bar foo #bar selects any element which is a descendent of foo with an id of bar so if you have <body> <div> <div id="infoSidebar"> <p>boo!</p> </div> </div> your div infosidebar is a descendant of body (but not its direct child) The * is unnecessary in your second example. -- Richard Grevers, New Plymouth, New Zealand Hat 1: Development Engineer, Webfarm Ltd.
