Cascading Style Sheets, level 1: Contextual Selectors
Came across this working on a personal project. I was looking for a way to change the nature of anchors within a specific <div>, but I didn't want to set up a special class for them within the stylesheet, so I wouldn't have to edit the main source.
This entry in the W3C recommendation showed me exactly how to do that.
A,A.visited {
color: white; }
.light A,A.visited {
color:black; }
The above will render all anchor tags on the page in white, with the exception of anchor tags within a <div class="light"> -- these will render in black...
Very simple, when all is said and done. Works in IE & Mozilla (tested). Should work in Opera too.
