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

* refers to all elements, and > means immediate child elements, so body > * means all immediate child elements of the body.

It's probably a hack of some kind to refer to a particular browser, though I'm not familiar with it.
