Re: css name clashes -- WEB400

The order in which styles are located by the browser are as follows:

1. Any inline style sheets (ie. inside an HTML element)
2. Any internal style sheets (ie. inside <head> tag)
3. Any external style sheets.

If your HTML is picking up the wrong style it is probably because it is finding another definition first. It is probably quicker to just change the order of the style sheets in order to ensure your style is located first.

You can also increase the "weight" of your style sheet rule. Rules with increased weight take precedence over "normal" weight. For example:
P (color: black} /* normal weight */

P {color: red ! important} /* this has increased weight and should take precedence*/

Hope this helps

Subject: [WEB400] css name clashes

Anyone have a tool that detects css name clashes? I did some poking
around the web and couldn't find anything immediately useful.

What I have is a situation where a particular element isn't displaying
correctly on a page. The page was an agglomeration of several pages,
each of which had a fully functioning example when run separately. When
I added all these stand alone elements to a single page, a couple of
elements no longer display correctly.

I will use a process of elimination to figure out which .css files has
the conflict but it would be pretty handy to have something that would
read through a series of css references on a page and tell you if you
have definitions in more than one file that could cause conflicts.
