"I am wondering if anyone knows what the asterisks in the following CSS do:
#mainNav, #secondaryContent {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#mainNav *, #secondaryContent * {
padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px;
}
#mainNav * *, #secondaryContent * * {
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
It does have an effect on the page in Firefox, but I have no idea what the
asterisks do, and then the double asterisks that reset the padding back to
0?"
Where did you find this code at? It looks like it is giving all first generation
elements of #mainNav and #secondaryContent 20 pixels each of left and right
padding and all second generation elements 0 pixels of left and right padding.
An asterisk in CSS means "every element."
