Css syntax pseudo-class

[raygold]

I'd like to know what's the correct css syntax for code below:

element>id>pseudo-classa#red:hover {color:red;}

or

id>element>pseudo-class#red a:hover {color:red;}

I think first css example shuold be right, but the second is used in this link http://www.w3schools...rites_hover_nav and it works properly.

They mean different things; which one is correct depends on your HTML. 1. targets a link with id="red"2. targets a link that is a descendent of some other element with id="red" In the example, #home a:hover targets a link that is a child of a <li> with id="home"
