[RESOLVED] Id predomminance over class

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 30.2009

Hi!

I have a layout for a site, with a little different Layout2.
Like this:

[CODE]
#Main {
margin: 10px;
float: left;
width: 427px;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background-color: #F8FAE8;
min-height: 250px;
}
#Main .Lay2 {
width: 650px;
}
[/CODE]

The #Main .Lay2 doesn’t seem to take effect. Is it overridden because it’s a class vs. an id?
Any solution other than making another stylsheet specific for the Layou2 and setting #Main to the desired width?

Thanks!

@KorJul 30.2009 — You make a confusion.

#Main .Lay2

That means the class Lay2 of [I]the elements nested inside[/I] the element with the id="Main". If you need the element with the id="main" [I]and[/I] the class="Lay2" you should have written:

#Main.Lay2

Note the white space or the absence of the white space between the selectors
