Hey, I've an obvious question.
For code like:
<div> <p>We want to format this text :)</p> </div> Some people use selector like:
div > p { something } And others:
div p { something } What's the difference in this case? In my opinion - none?
And by the way, isn't the descendant item always a child?! What's the difference between the two? I'm reading w3.org but can't get it :)
Thank you!

div > p. Selects all <p> elements where the parent is a <div> element. element+element. div + p. Selects the first <p> element that is placed immediately after <div> elements.
[div > p] selects only the p that are children of the div. So if you had a div with lists or whatever inside that had their own p, their properties would not be affected by this selector. [div p] selects all descendant p in the div. So any p that is inside, or descendant, of a div would be affected.
Right Answer is: The syntax div ~ p will select the paragraph elements that are the siblings of the div element.
A p tag is for a paragraph, generally used for text. A div tag is for division, and generally used for creating sections of text. Show activity on this post. <p> is semantically used for text, paragraphs usually.
Simple:
div > p affects only direct children.
div p affects grandchildren, grandgrandchildren etc. as well. (Won't make a difference in your example)
The child selector isn't supported by IE6.
