How To Apply !important In Css

admin_img Posted By Bajarangi soft , Posted On 09-10-2020

The !important property in CSS is used to provide more weight (importance) than normal property. In CSS, the !important means that “this is important”, ignore all the subsequent rules, and apply !important rule and the !important keyword must be placed at the end of the line, immediately before the semicolon.

css Improtant

In other words, it adds importance to all the sub-properties that the shorthand property represents In normal use, a rule defined in an external style sheet which is overruled by a style defined in the head of the document, which in turn, is overruled by an inline style within the element itself (assuming equal specificity of the selectors) Defining a rule with the !important attribute that discards the normal concerns as regards the later rule overriding the earlier ones So, it is used for overriding the styles that are previously declared in other style sources, in order to achieve a certain design.
Syntax:

element {
    color: blue  !important;
    font-size: 14px !important; 
    ...
}
Example 1:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
    <style>
        h1 {
            color: #e75b23;
        }
        h1 {
            color:white !important;
        }
        body {
            background-color: #f1ee33 !important;
            text-align:center;
            background-color: #ff00f2;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bajarangi Soft</h1>
<h2>!important property</h2>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>
In the above example, the background color of the body is green instead of yellow because “!important” is kept after the green background color inside the body tag.
