I do not understand why it does not work for you, it works for me : http://jsfiddle.net/igorlaszlo/wcm1soma/1/

The HTML

    

    
        This "a" element text should be red
            This span text in "a" element should be red too
              
    

The CSS

#applyCSS * {color:red;display:block;margin:20px;}

Maybe you have some special rules that you did not share with us...
