I wish to select and style elements in a page having a body of a given
class.
<body class="page">
<div class="inside">
<div id="a">
<p>Content of #a</p>
</div>
<div class="b">
<p>Content of class .b</p>
<div class="c">
<p>Content of .c</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
I've had trouble selecting the content of #a, .b and .c.
For example, those don't work in the stylesheet:
body.page div.inside #a { style statements }
body.page .b { style statements }
body.page div.inside .b { style statements }
body.page div.c {style statement }

Please post a URL that demonstrates the problem, explain why you think
there is a problem caused by selector issues, and identify the
browser(s) you used for testing.
Haines,
you better follow Jukka's advice and provide us with a URL
because the example you posted is working fine in my browser.

Rob,
Indeed. I has a small markup error that killed the whole works, and
when corrected I had no problem getting the selectors to work. Sorry
to have been difficult.

Why? There is only one body element on a page, so there's seldom any reason
to assign a class to it.
There's very frequently a reason to class a body element - when you
share an external stylesheet across many pages. This can obviously be
sub-types of page within a site. It could even be a simple way to
roll-out Google-like date-based rebranding of a page simply by flipping
<bodyto <body class="hallowee n" >

I think it would be more natural to use distinct stylesheets, with @import
directives taking care of using those rules that should be applied to all
(or most) pages. This would make the dependancy clearer: this stylesheet
associates with this page, as opposite to coding the dependancy into
selectors and therefore making selectors (which can be rather complicated
for other reasons) more complicated.

Dear CSS gurus,
My question regarding 'the cascade' is a simple one, but one that I haven't
heard anyone talk about before:
When cascading (for instance, when applying two linked stylesheets), does
the whole selector definition supercede and replace a previous one, or does
it go through the selector definition line by line (rule by rule) and only
supercede rules and attributes that are previously defined?
