form #search {color: #fff;} /* This will make any element with an id of
'search' render with white font if it is in a form element */
form#search {color: #fff;} /* This will make any element with an id of
'search' that is, itself, a form element render with white font */
I find this most useful with classes since there are, conceivably, some
class names that you'd like to re-use if appropriate such as:
class='last'
class='first'
class='clear'
etc.
Qualifiers add a way of targeting these elements without having to add
an id / class to a higher level container (thus resulting in cleaner code).
