How do I apply the !important rule to a CSS transform with multiple values?

Is it possible to undo a previous css 'transform' applied to an element and apply a new rule? Although we often use '!important' in css to override rules with higher priority, it seems that '!important' is not working on a transform property:

.mk-flipbox-front {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
  transform: translateX(100%);
}

I would like to change this to:

.mk-flipbox-front {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(100%) rotateY(0deg);
  transform: translateX(100%) rotateY(0deg);
}

However, using '!important' like this does not work:

transform: translateX(100%) rotateY(0deg) !important;

It does not function properly and breaks the code.

Is there a way to apply '!important' to a transform property with multiple values?

Answer №1

In response to your query

Is it possible to apply !important to a transform with multiple values?

Yes, you can use !important just like you would in any other property

If your !important declaration is not taking effect, it could be due to CSS specificity and/or CSS inheritance

Avoid using !important

Instead, provide a more specific selector, such as a parent or sibling selector, to override it

For example:

.mk-flipbox-front {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
  transform: translateX(100%);
}
.parent .mk-flipbox-front {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(100%) rotateY(0deg);
  transform: translateX(100%) rotateY(0deg);
}
<div class="parent">
  <div class="mk-flipbox-front">test</div>
</div>
