Styles for tags inside divs

[Patrick]

Hopefully not a dumb question, but...

Say you have a <div id="blah"Is there a way to set the style for other
tags inside that specific div without having to set those tags with a
class? Meaning could I do a <pinside the div that would display set
style without having to do a <p class="blahblah"and then any <p>
outside that div would be displayed as normal or however I have defined <p>?

Thanks for your thoughts,
Patrick

#blah p {

#blah p { /* styles here */ }

Remember, you can only use an id once in a document.

Seems to work also if I do .blah p { /* styles here */ } Do you know how
much easier this just made things for me?

Wow! That's it? I just take my div id name, #blah put the p there and
then define the style inside.

Thanks!

That's what descendant selectors are for.

p {color: green}
#blah p {color: red}

#blah is for <div id="blah">
..blah is for <div class="blah">

It's the KISS principle.
