The filter you specified is one rule with two elements described in
it. Being firstly an element with a class attribute containing myClass
with a child anchor element. Maybe you possibly mean a.myClass meaning
an anchor element which has a myClass class attribute? As I think
filter will only apply the rule to the element and not check children
elements.
