Conflicting style issue

You have style and custom css.
You also have classes for bigbutton in both, both are loading. You dont use !important , so how does it differentiate.

I am using cutom stylesheet, and also stylesheet switcher, but having issues with styles inheriting classes from style.css and overiding classes in custom css.

By the way bigbutton just an example

    All other things being equal custom.css overrides style.css because it's linked after.

    I say all other things being equal because between the two stylesheets more specific tags will always win out, e.g. #Content .BigButton will always override .BigButton, no matter which sheet it's in.

    Well that was my thought too.. Hmm, will recheck our code. Noticed on your themes you do the same, so must work. Thanks.

    Yeah I do, although I noticed that if you drop style.css into your theme it replaces the default style.css completely, which would give you more control. If I were to make another theme I think that's what I would do, it would make for less CSS overall and avoid all the annoying override issues.

    Yeah well thats my issue. Doesnt seem to be a slick way of injecting extra css files.

    I drop copy of style.css into ustom theme and modify it. But then say i create styleswitch, adding abc.css , style.css attributes overwrite my custom classes etc. I must be adding them wrong. Its all good if i dot use styleswitch. Think i need to recode it.

    Scuse spelling errors im on bloody ipad.
