Sorry guys but I think I got this one licked. I changed things like
body#infoSidebar p {
padding: 10px;
}
to
*#infoSidebar p {
padding: 10px;
}
I'm very pleased that it works now but now I'm confused as to why it
worked while the first instance didn't. 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
pboo!/p
/div
/div
your div infosidebar is a descendant of body (but not its direct child)
The * is unnecessary in your second example.
