Solution

An element with the class `lfr-dockbar-pinned` that is a direct child descendant of the `html` element. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#child-selectors

Problem

I have below CSS code in some CSS file of Liferay portal. What does html > signify? When that should be used? ``` .lfr-dockbar-pinned { .dockbar { left: 0; position: fixed; right: 0; top: 0; } .pin-dockbar img { background-image: url(../images/dockbar/unpin.png); } } html > .lfr-dockbar-pinned { padding-top: 3.45em; } ```
