CS question

[_Who]

I thought when two things appear together in a css file the rule applies to
all of them. In the following: h1, h2, h3 and h4 all have a family and
margin specified.

h1 h2 h3 h4{

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, San Serif;

margin-bottom: 2pt;

margin-top: 2pt;

}

Assuming the above statement is correct the following statements have me
confused. The entries below had many more entries between them but I select
ones containing "A.Visited". It seems to me that each one would redefine
A.Visited and only the last one would be effective.

Or does, for example, the first one say: If an element has the ID "menuitem"
and an "A" tag then A.Visited color is #FFFFFF??

If that is the case it appears to be in contradiction to what I said above
about the h's.

Can you straighten this out?

Thanks

#menuitem A:Visited {

color: #FFFFFF;

}

A:Visited {

color: #003399;

text-decoration: none;

}

..bottomnav A:visited {

font-size: 8pt;

color: #F0E68C;

}

you have the wrong syntax.

h1 h2 {....}

means apply css to a h2 thats a child of a h1. to condense use the
comma, not the space:

h1, h2, h3, h4 {....)
