"color" tag problem; should be trivial, but is driving me insane

I have a strong desire to smash the desk with my forehead.

 

So, I have this:

.widget {	color: #000000;	border-top: 1px dotted #b3b3b3;	font-size: 18px;	font-size: 1.8rem;	line-height: 1.6666666666em;	margin: 0 0 1.6666666666em;	overflow: hidden;	padding: 1.6666666666em 0 0 0;	font-style: italic;	text-shadow: 1px 1px 4px;}

The problem? Changing the colour doesn't work! I change the number to #ff0000 and it remains black. The rest of the block is good, I played with the font-style, shadow and size and all those work.

 

To add insult to injury, exactly below it I have:

.widget-title {	color: #000000;	font-size: 15px;	font-size: 1.5rem;	line-height: 1.3333333333em;	margin: 0 0 1.3333333333em 0;	text-transform: uppercase;}

When I change colour here, it works.

 

I checked spelling, changed the loaction of the text, copy/pasted from below, nothing. Any ideas?

You have other selectors that have more precedence than the .widget class.

 

For one, the .widget-title is a descendent of .widget, so it has higher precedence. Then there are <a> elements which have a color assigned already by CSS as well.

 

If you want to update the color of the links in the widget:

.widget a {    color: #FF0000;}

To update the color of the <h3> element in the widget, you can either use the .widget-title selector, or select h3 elements that are descendents of .widget:

.widget h3 {    color: #FF0000;}

Finally, when two selectors have the same precendence (.widget h3 and .widget-title both point to the exact same element) the last one in the stylesheet takes precedence:

// The text will be black because .widget-title is last.widget h3 {    color: #FF0000;}.widget-title {    color: #000000;}
// The text will be red because .widget h3 is last.widget-title {    color: #000000;}.widget h3 {    color: #FF0000;}
