Paul, Thanks for the info, my example was symbolic and I realized I had a mistake after I had sent the email but you are correct, ID names should be only used once in the body of the page.
It should have been #id1 > #id2 as now we know it is #idParent > @idChild Thanks for the pointers and the help, Helmut On 12/28/06, Paul Novitski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Read this: W3C CSS 2.1 Specification 5 Selectors 5.6 Child selectors http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#child-selectors By the way, I don't know if your example was symbolic or literal, but you should know that an id should be used only once on a page, so for example: <div id="frog"> <div id="frog"> </div> </div> violates the spec: 7. The global structure of an HTML document - The HEAD and BODY of a document 7.5. The document body 7.5.2. Element identifiers: the id and class attributes http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-id "id = name [CS] "This attribute assigns a name to an element. This name must be unique in a document."
