dsonesuk Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 !important will give the targeted element color precedence over any css styling that targets the same element. precedence of styling 1) inline of element2) inline css styling within the <HEAD>..</HEAD> of the document3) linked external css file If you used !important for color while targeting the same element in (2) it would take precedence over (1), Unless it too was using color: with !important then it would become top dog again.
