[WSG] Combining in css

[Lyn Patterson]

I have different colored backgrounds on several pages and have put them 
is the css as follows:

#[name of page] #container {background-color: #dff;}
#[next page] #container {background-color: #ffd;}  and so on.
Then I have
#[name of page] #floatimgleft {background-color: #dff;}
#[next page] #floatimgleft {background-color: ffd;} and so on.
This is OK but I wondered if I could combine the two.
I tried to combine them as follows:
#[name of page] #container #floatimgleft {background-color: #dff;}
but it didn't work. Only the last mentioned (#floatimgleft) worked and 
(#container) reverted to general background color.  Is there a way to 
combine them - have I left out commas or something?

Thanks
