Child DIV Styles based on Partent DIVs style

If i have a DIV with DIV's inside it, can i specify a style on the child DIV that is dependant on the parent DIV? I want to specify a childs class based on its parents

So if i had a message DIV with posts and a forum DIV with posts i want to style the <div id="Posts"></div> based on the parents class...

Child DIV Styles based on Partent DIVs style

I think you want something like this:

Code:

#message #posts {
  color: red;
}
#forum #posts {
  color: navy;
}

This will make #posts different depending on whether it's in the #forum element or the #message element.
