“Specificity is a weight that is applied to a given CSS declaration, determined by the number of each selector type in the matching selector. When multiple declarations have equal specificity, the last declaration found in the CSS is applied to the element. Specificity only applies when the same element is targeted by multiple declarations. As per CSS rules, directly targeted elements will always take precedence over rules which an element inherits from its ancestor.”
“In contrast to class which accepts multiple values, and can be used broadly throughout an HTML document, an element’s id can only have a single value, and only be used once per page.”
You also can use it to access an element in JavaScript. It’s just a name for an element so you can reference it (in CSS, JavaScript, or some other language).
The method getElementsByClassName() in JavaScript can be used to get an element in a Javascript function.
Using .title ruleset helps apply a CSS style to multiple elements with only the same class in the HTML code. Using the type selector would apply to all elements with that particular type element (even with a class attribute).
I think I’m experiencing a bug. I’ve had to look at view solution and accept their code, even when our codes are identical. Even when I copy all of their solution for the HTML & CSS page and replace my code, the program says its wrong, but then I click accept their solution and it says its right…
sometimes it seems like using inline css is easier than adding that particular rule to an external style sheet. I know there are reasons why a style sheet is preferred, but I guess for one or two items inline seems they way to go. am I wrong or is that just my beginner’s inexperience talking ?
Quick Overrides: When you need to make a temporary or one-off change.
Email Templates: Inline CSS is often used in email templates due to inconsistent CSS support across email clients.
Other than the reasons above, I don’t see a necessity in using inline-styles. Its disadvantages somewhat outweighs the pros as it creates redundancy and does not follow the SOC (Separation of Concern) principle.
cool, thanks for the input. Thats what I was thinking also but im new so hearing from someone with more experience ingrains the proper practice more so in my mind.
