Hello CSS guru's:
I'm new to CSS and I'm having trouble deciphering markup like this:
#navcontainer ul { margin: 0; } or even this:
#navcontainer ul ul li { margin: 0; }
In the first example, the id #navcontainer is followed by whitespace and another CSS element. In the second example, there are 3 elements that follow the id, which are also separated by whitespace.
In the first example, I assume that the ul that is associated with #navcontainer will have a margin of 0.
But I have no idea what the second declaration means.
My question is, how are elements separated by whitespace in a declaration interpreted?
Any help would be appreciated.

kjmaclean,
Welcome to the Scripts! I point you to this site. It provides a lot of good information about CSS with examples and its in a step by step/ chapter like format. So can easily return to where you left off.
Hopefully that site will help you out. I know it helped me a great deal. Enjoy!
#navcontainer ul ul li { margin: 0; }
Any help would be appreciated.
You are correct on the first one. The second can be read as "a <li> contained in a <ul> which is contained in a <ul> which is contained in #navcontainer". So the second <ul> is in a <li> of the first <ul>.

In my reading of the Strict and Transitional DTD for HTML 4.0, the table
row (TR) elements are contained within table section elements: THEAD,
TFOOT, and TBODY.
The table section elements are the defined contents of the TABLE element.
The TR element is not defined as an "immediate" or "direct" contained
element of TABLE.

Please forgive the simplicy of this question. I have the following code
which attempts to determine the color of some text and set other text
to match that color. It works fine in Firefox, but does nothing in IE.
I'd be greatful for any assistance. Also, if I will have problems the
code on Opera or Safari, I'd appreciate any pointers--I don't have a
Mac to test Safari.
THanks very much,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
