What does “body > *” mean in CSS?

Question

I am trying to understand the CSS effects that jQTouch implements. http://www.jqtouch.com/

It has some CSS definitions that contain syntax like body > *<

Answer 1

The > means that only the following * (anything), which is the IMMEDIATE child of the body will be affected.

So body > * basically means every immediate child of the body tag. body * means all tags inside the body tag, no matter the level.
