I wish I'd known about that years ago. The only thing I would say, is that using the ID attribute is a bit of a problem as you can't duplicate IDs in the page, especially if you are using XSLT to generate the page. However, the descendant selectors will also work when you are using classes, so you can go... TABLE.DataTable TR TD {background-color:blue} which will give a TD which is contained within a DataTable a blue background. What I need to get working before I start using this is to be able to go... TABLE.DataTable TR TD {background-color:blue} TABLE.DataTable TR:first-child TD {background-color:red} so that the header rows are with a red background. If anybody does manage to get this working please drop me an e-mail. Cheers, Chris Very, very interesting. I wish I’d known about that years ago.

I would also like to second the question by Tom Stewart: "Does the same apply for class inheritance" Thank you That was very nicely explained.
