The !important
rule is a way to give a CSS declaration priority over other declarations that have the same specificity. It is typically used to override styles set by user agents or other stylesheets.
The !important
rule can be applied to any CSS property and is written after the value of the property. For example:
p {
color: red !important;
}
In this example, the color
property of p
elements will always be red, regardless of any other styles that may be applied.
It is generally recommended to avoid using !important
whenever possible, as it can make it difficult to manage and maintain stylesheets over time. Instead, it is best to use specific selectors and avoid relying on the !important
rule to enforce styles.
