What does “body > *” mean in CSS?

Question

I am trying to understand the CSS effects that jQTouch implements. http://www.jqtouch.com/

It has some CSS definitions that contain syntax like body > *<

Answer 1

body > * means "any direct child of the body tag", e.g. consider the following scenario

    
This will be affected by body > *
    

        This also
        
This will not be affected, because it is not a direct child
