Dumb question I know, but anyway. How do I change the properties for a tag inside a class?

example:

<tag class="class">
  <atag></atag>
<tag>

To edit stuff for atag, is it

Code: [Select]

.class atag {
stuff
}

Or is it

Code: [Select]

atag .class {
stuff
}

Thanks

Code: [Select]

atag.class{
  /* stuff */
}

or

Code: [Select]

.class{
   /* stuff */
}

Although this will affect anything with this class. You can also use

Code: [Select]

atag{
   /* stuff */
}

For all references of atag

Eeems, he wants to know how to target atag as a descendant of .class, not the element itself.

What you're looking for is

Code: [Select]

.class atag
{
    /* stuff */
}

(your first guess, flyingfisch).

Oh right lol, I just skimmed the question.
Another more specific way to do this would be

Code: [Select]

tag.class atag{
   /* stuff */
}

To prevent any confusion, could you explain what is <atag> though? Can one just use any nonexistent tag in his HTML code to assign CSS properties to it?

Well, you can actually use nonexistant tags and your browser won't even complain. It won't pass the W3C Validator though. And I never tried it, but I think the CSS parser won't even care if your tag exists or not.

Some might throw warnings. I know I've used non-existent tags before. Not a good idea to do though.

The reason I used <atag> was just to create some arbitrary code.

It could be any tag like <span>, <div>, etc.
