They use the HTML family tree to format child tags. Descendant refer to an nested elements and its level of nesting similar to a child, grandchild, etc.\u00a0 as <head> and <body> tags are nested in <html> tag or are descendant of <html> tag. They are used to select an element based on its context within the web page.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Descendant selectors apply style based on whether one element contains another like<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<html lang=\u201den\u201d>
\n<head>
\n<title>Vskills Example <\/title>
\n<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text\/css” href=”style.css” \/>
\n<\/head>
\n<body>
\n<h1>Vskills Certification <\/h1>
\n<div class=”list1″>
\n<h2>CSS Designer<\/h2>
\n<p>CSS designer certification is used to impart CSS certification.<\/p>
\n<\/div>
\n<div class=”list1″>
\n<h2>HTML Certification<\/h2>
\n<p>HTML certification is used to impart HTML certification.<\/p>
\n<\/div>
\n<\/body>
\n<\/html><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In this example the <h2> and <p> elements are child elements of the <div> but also descendants of <body> and <html> and similarly <h2> and <p> have <div> as a common ancestor. CSS rule for an element based on its ancestor is given as<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 div.list1 h2 { font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0; }<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the example the <h2> tag is selected if it is a descendant of the <div> element with a class of list1. More than two elements can be included in referring to ancestors. Each selector in a descendant selector chain must be separated by a space as shown<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 html body div p { padding: 0 10px 0 0; }<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Complex descendent selectors combining different types of selectors can also be built like<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0p.top a { color: red; }<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This example styles the links to appear in red only when they\u2019re in paragraphs which have a class name called top. But small mistakes can alter the meaning like a space between \u2018p\u2019 and \u2018.top\u2019 as<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 p .top a { color: red; }<\/div>\n
This example styles the links to appear in red of an <a> tag inside of any tag named with the \u2018top\u2019 class, which is itself, a descendent of a <p> tag.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The descendant selector is also illustrated by the figure as\"Descendant<\/div>\n
