What does this CSS declaration mean?

Question

could you tell me what does this declaration mean. Why does it have ul tag mentioned twice?

.jqueryslidemenu ul ul

I would like to think it is an error. I cannot seem to find a valid reason to nest an unordered list inside another. — Ragnar123, Feb 25 '11 at 21:14
Spaces are child selectors, not direct descendant selectors. So you could have a li in the first ul that has a ul in it. — Alan Geleynse, Feb 25 '11 at 21:16
@Ragnar123 - No this is valid. In HTML this would become an outline with nested ULs indented to the right. — Amir Raminfar, Feb 25 '11 at 21:26

It would match all UL tags that are descendants of a UL Tag that is a descendant of an element that has the jqueryslidemenu class on it.

Not just children but any level of ancestor. :) – Amir Raminfar Feb 25 '11 at 21:27

That should be "descendant". Parent is to child as ancestor is to descendant. – gilly3 Feb 25 '11 at 23:22
