CSS Specificity
Raw
css-specificity.txt
CSS rules have weight, and you should leverage those rules to correctly cascade styles.
element = 1 pt
class = 10 pt
id = 100 pt
inline = 1000 pt
An ID has a relatively high specificity of 100. A class has a specificity of 10.
#idname.classname - Now this selector has a specificity of 110.
div#idname.classname - Now this selector has a specificity of 111 (because an element has a specificity of 1).
