CSS Selector Level 1 » Descendant combination

The descendant combination selector selects every element with the type of e.g. F which has as parent an element with the element type of E.
CSS4 introduced a new, non-whitespace version of the descendant combination selector.

# Syntax

Copy
E F {
    /* declarations */
}

# Example

Copy
div span {
    background-color: green;
    color: white;
}

This example will add a green background-color with a white color to every <span> which has a <div> as parent.

Try example in CodePen
