Answer 1

You can chain class selectors without a space between them:

.a.b {
     color: #666;
}

Note that, if it matters to you, IE6 treats .a.b as .b, so in that browser both div.a.b and div.b will have gray text. See this answer for a comparison between proper browsers and IE6.

Answer 2

Just chain them together:

.a.b {
  color: #666;
}
