Descendant Selector (CSS Selector)
Article Introduction:Detailed explanation of CSS descendant selector
The descendant selector is used to match all descendant elements of the specified element. The first simple selector in the selector represents the ancestor element—a higher-level element in the structure, such as the parent element, the parent element of the parent element, etc. The second simple selector represents the descendant elements we are trying to match.
The combiner used in descendant selectors is a space character: space, horizontal tab, carriage return, line break or page break. Since space characters are allowed around the combiner, you can include multiple space characters between simple selectors in descendant selectors.
Consider the following HTML snippet:
Item 1
Sub-item 2A

Selector Grouping
Article Introduction:Use the comma (,) separator to group selectors. The following declaration block will be applied to any element that matches any selector in the group:
td, th {
/* Statement */
}
We can treat commas as logical "OR" operators, but we must remember that each selector in the group is independent. A common beginner mistake is to write groups like this:
#foo td, th {
/* Statement */
}
Beginners might think that the above declaration block will be applied to all descendants of the element with ID "foo". However, the above selector group is actually equivalent to:
#foo td {
/* Statement */
}
th {
/* Voice
