Question about plugin functionality for a menu?

An element's padding isn't inherited by its children. If you add or remove padding from one element using CSS it's not going to affect another element unless that element shares its CSS selector or you've outright told that element to inherit its padding (padding: inherit;).

So, in this case, the content area of the table is considered the element's child?

Would this be an instance of nth-child, or is that wrong?

This has absolutely nothing to do with that.

Thank you! I'd forgotten about that thread/post.

My only other question from that thread: How do you target it with CSS? I understand from that example how they work, but I didn't see in there how to target them in the CSS and so forth.

Thank you for that confirmation. I was doing some coding for the plugin where the nth-child was referenced in some examples, so I just wanted to make sure.

.parent > .children {

}

.parent .all-descendants {

}

Thanks, Brian. Do you by any chance know, or can you direct me to find, how much padding pad-all gives an element?

[Brian]

.pad-all is defined in the default theme's style sheet.

.pad-all { padding: 5px !important; }

If you inspect an element with the class pad-all the browser's developer tools will show you all of the CSS that affects it. It should be among the first few results.

Thanks for that information, Brian. So, I just pretty much have to find the correct selector to use to target that area?

[Brian]

Yes, that is usually how CSS works.

True, true.

It's just annoying how the pad-all class isn't working at all. I have that on all of the tab content areas, so I thought that would take care of it, but I guess not.
