dd is a sibling of dt, not a child, so try:

dt#contact is redundant. You don't need it because dt#email is like
the highlander (there can only be one).
dd a aren't children of dt#email.

Re: [WSG] getting an "a"
I don't think you can get to that in particular and ONLY that one
without assigning it a class or ID.
PS: I hope we're talking about hitting the anchor for "Chuck" and only that
one, yeah?

That is an incorrect path. The does not sit inside the . Instead,
the and the are siblings that share the same parent - the
(who I have heard is a very poor parent and doesn't look after his children
well at all!).
The correct path would be:
dl#contact dd a {border: 1px solid black}
Best to always draw a document tree if you get stuck, then it is easy to see
that these two elements sit side by side.
If you want to target the element inside a specific , then you'd
have to add another class or id.

Re: [WSG] getting an "a"
Hi,
So given that fact to get to the desired I should use:
dl#contact dd.email a { margin: 0 0 -2em 0; border:1px solid black}

Re: [WSG] getting an "a"
Well, yeah - although CKs' original post didn't make that clear. Move
the id='email' from the to the desired - and if more than one
of them needs the border, make it a class instead...

Re: [WSG] getting an "a"
Hi,
Both are desired, but I was being uptight about the line-height.
Which could pass as is.

See the HTML, XML, SGML, CSS and DOM related specs. what would be the best method for creating the document tree diagrams? Drawing diagrams requires some highly specialised equipment known as pencil and paper. To draw a tree diagram of an HTML document, just start with the root element (or any convenient parent of the section you're interested in) and then draw branches with one child at the end, and then repeat fo r. e.g. DD +-DT | +-#text | +-DD | +-A |+-#text | +-DT | +-... +-... There's even a tree diagram showing the same kind of structure in the CSS 2.1 spec. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent Alternatively, you can use the DOM inspector in Firefox which shows that kind of structure for the entire document. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
