Cascading CSS, bottom-up Cascading
I'm confused with the way CSS is cascading, I thought if you did something like

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
.small p {
color: red;
font-size: 10px;
}
.big p {
color: green;
font-size: 50px;
}
.blue p {
color: blue;
}
</style>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="small">
<p>Small</p>
<div class="big">
<p>Big</p>
<div class="small">
<div class="blue">
<p>Blue inside Small</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
My problem is with the "Blue inside Small" , I thought this will be small text as it has an upper class with "small" class. How can I achieve that.
Please don't tell me to change any thing because I'm building a complex template system that you can have containers(divs) inside containers(divs) and I want the bottom-up style to apply !
You specified .big p
's rule after .small p
's rule in your CSS, so the font size will be 50 pixels, not 10, because both selectors are of equal specificity.
CSS cascades its equally-specific selectors top-down (for both CSS rules and the DOM). You can't change that unless you do any of these:
- Make one or more selectors more specific
- Use
!important
- Modify your HTML
I know you said not to suggest any changes, but I'll do it anyway for the benefit of others — the simplest to make to achieve what you want would be to use the child combinator >
in the second selector (as suggested by a now-deleted answer):
.big > p {
color: green;
font-size: 50px;
}
