    <p>I would like to form a better understanding of when it is appropriate to use classes to target content as opposed to other available options, specifically, descendant selectors.</p> <p>In many cases, instead of using classes, it is possible to use descendant selectors to target the same elements. If the same thing can be accomplished in both ways, what is the logic between deciding an option ?</p> <p>Here are some example scenarios:</p> <p>1.</p> <p>a.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; /* target */ &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .main &gt; div &gt; div </code></pre> <p>b.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .content </code></pre> <p>2.</p> <p>a.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div&gt; /* target */ &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; /* target */ &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .main &gt; div:first-child .main &gt; div:last-child </code></pre> <p>b.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div class="content1"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="content2"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .content1 .content2 </code></pre> <p>3.</p> <p>a.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .main &gt; div div </code></pre> <p>b.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; .content div </code></pre> <p>What is the logic between deciding to use classes or descendant selectors ?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
