That's correct. (Assuming the selectors have the same origin, weight, AND specificity, that is; in that case, then the order the rules are listed in the CSS matters. If two selectors don't have the same origin, weight, OR specificity, then the order they're listed in the CSS is irrelevant.) -- Eric A.
