!didistutter?;
!importanter;
fun fact: !important !important is essentially !importanter, and you can go even further if you want a hell of a css hierarchy
You can also just write your class again as some sort of additional specificity like
.myclass.myclass.myclass { color:red !important !important; }
The fact that this and the prior comments work don't make like CSS more tbh
Like most things in the world of dev, there are right and wrong ways to do things. Just because you can doesn't mean you should! CSS can be quite nice when used correctly!
this and the parent comment have blown my mind.
This... exists? This is horrible.
I actually encountered an issue earlier today where my important wasn't working...and it was because another dev had already added a more specific important.
I deleted their important.
I support this. Assert dominance.
When I read that, I can never not say “not important” in my head
Yeah I think that makes CSS a manager. It's always prioritizing not important things
Same
the z index is so high that the div escaped your monitor and is behind your head now
"programmer"
Always forget the position: relative
Stacking contexts
Along with transforms being 3d or flat transform styles
