Re: CSS: rule for the style of a table including its rows and cells?

table, tr, td, th { /* properties: values */ }

Thanks, but TMK that applies to all tables - it may not be invoke for
'/a/' table.

table#foo, table#foo tr, table#foo td, table#foo th {}

table#foo, table#foo tr, table#foo td, table#foo th {}

Thanks, but IIUC that does not let me invoke for just the table e.g.

<table class=mycompletetablestyle>
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>C</td><td>D</td></tr>
</table>

but instead requires me to invoke for all the elements.

No, that would be using ".mycompletetablestyle" rather then "#foo" in each
of the above.

No, it works for all elements defined in your stylesheet.

<table id="foo">
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>C</td><td>D</td></tr>
</table>

all elements would have the styles applied. Because you speficied
"table#foo tr" rather than "tr#foo" then any tr child of table#foo gets the
style.
