RE: [EWD] CSS Styles - Select All Instances Error

[Ian Haynes]

<snip>
1. In the CSS, create an element, "a", and an ID, "#nav a"
2. In the markup, create 1 instance of element "a" and 2 instances of
ID "#nav a".

You can only have one instance of #nav on the page, so this may be confusing
the issue.

While you can only have one instance of an id you can have multiple
descendent selectors. His #nav a should select all anchor elements contained

in an element (div, table or list) .

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="a.html">A</a></li>
<li><a href="b.html">B</a></li>
<li><a href="c.html">C</a></li>
<li><a href="d.html">D</a></li>
</ul>

Is a very common method of creating menus. In the above instance if you were

to select #nav a you should get 4 items selected. If Expression is
reporting 5 then that would be a bug since it should not be selecting the
ul.

For some reason I didn't get the original of this message, guess I better
check my spam filters. Sigh.
