      @ankonaskiff17 you have to chain together different selectors to target the element you want

      see
      https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

      is id, module_1_calendar

      . is class , .module, .small
      neither is element name , aka div, img, li

      and there are operators that give u parent or child or direct child

      u currently cannot target an element with a specific value

      <li>2</li>

        @ankonaskiff17 Not an expert in CSS at all but in the first example you gave you are targeting a single element in the chain (.X.Y.Z single element Z in the chain of X/Y) whereas in the second example you are targeting two different elements (.X.Y and .Z).

          @ankonaskiff17 on the spaces question, it’s like immediate child with no space

                @hango because he has multiple instances of calendar running, he needs to use the ID

                #module_1_calendar
                instead of the class
                ,calendar

                    @hango said in Generic CSS question when target is several layers down:

                    if he put something between clock and calendar or change position the ID is changing

                    good point… I hadn’t thought of classes for that kind of purpose…
