Combining two CSS elements

Question

How would I combined the follow into one block

#idOne td, th {
  ......
}

#idTwo td, th {
  ......
}

I tried

#idOne td, th,
#idTwo td, th {
  .....
}

but theth is included as its own.

Any ideas? Thanks

Oh, you have th in there twice... you could remove one of them. — Phil Tune

You need to realize that its a comma separated list of selectors. You want a unique list of selectors. Were you thinking #idOne td, #idOne th, #idTwo td, #idTwo th { ... }? Otherwise all th will get the styling in the block. — bryjohns

You need to specify the parent for each of the td and th tags:

#idOne td, #idOne  th, #idTwo td, #idTwo th {
  ......
}

@NorCalKnockOut Unfortunately css isn't so clever. If you use less or sass you can nest your your selectors so it would be something like #idOne, #idTwo { th, td { ... } }. That's probably what you were thinking css would do for you as the idea its very intuitive.

Given the question example, the correct way would be this:

#idOne td, #idTwo td, th {
  .....
}

But I've a feeling that the example might not be quite as you intend.
