<div id="header">
<ul>
<li>item a</li>
<li>item b</li>
</ul>
<div id="site_nav">
<ul>
<li>item a</li>
<li>item b</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
and if I have some css:
#header ul{
border:1px solid blue;}
#site_nav ul{
border:1px solid red;}
So there's two unordered lists here: one directly inside of #header, and another that's inside of #site_nav - which is also inside of #header.
These both have the same CSS specificity score (101, right?) So why is it the case, what rule is being employed, that makes it so the declaration for #header ul overrides the more localized declaration of #site_nav ul? Why does the border render as blue?
