Answer 1

First of all, there are many, many ways of matching items within a HTML document. Start with this reference to see some of the available selectors/patterns which you can use to apply a style rule to an element(s).

http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/

Match all divs which are direct descendants of #main.

#main > div

Match all divs which are direct or indirect descendants of #main.

#main div

Match the first div which is a direct descendant of #sections.

#main > div:first-child

Match a div with a specific attribute.

#main > div[foo="bar"]
