My website has a stylesheet defined in the header as style.css with a selector:
.myClass {background:#000;}
Now my div looks like:
<div class="myClass" style="background:#fff;"> </div>
Which one has priority, the inline or the class?

html. Properties of CSS: Inline CSS has the highest priority, then comes Internal/Embedded followed by External CSS which has the least priority. Multiple style sheets can be defined on one page. If for an HTML tag, styles are defined in multiple style sheets then the below order will be followed.
The more specific the CSS selector is, the higher is the precedence of the CSS property declarations inside the CSS rule owning the selector. In general terms, the more specifically (uniquely) a CSS selector targets an HTML element, the higher is its specificity.
Inline styles have the highest priority over the external style and external styles. Inline styles take priority over embedded styles and external styles. Inline-styles are applied directly to an element via the style attribute.
Summary. Now we can say that the priority of the CSS property in an HTML document is applied top to bottom and left to right. Values defined as Important will have the highest priority. Inline CSS has a higher priority than embedded and external CSS.
The order of precedence with CSS is as follows:
<p class="redText" style="color: red;">CSS is awesome</p>.In this example, the class is ignored if the redText class declaration has already tried to define the property of color:. Other properties can still be honored though.<head><style> section of an html page.<head> section is: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
