CSS !important

In CSS, the !important declaration is used to give a style rule the highest priority, overriding any other styles applied to the same element. When a style rule is marked with !important, it takes precedence over other rules regardless of specificity.

Here’s an example of how !important can be used:

css

p {
  color: blue !important;
}

p {
  color: red;
}

In this example, the color property of the <p> element is set to blue with !important. Even though there is another style rule that sets the color to red, the !important declaration ensures that the color remains blue.

It’s worth noting that using !important should generally be avoided as it can make your CSS harder to maintain and override. It’s considered best practice to use specificity and cascade rules to control the styles instead. However, there may be certain cases where !important is necessary, such as when dealing with third-party stylesheets or browser-specific overrides.
