Recently, I encountered a peculiar situation with an HTML document. A <div> element that was originally styled via its id attribute in a separate CSS file suddenly lost its styling when I changed the attribute to a class. The relevant CSS code transitioned from #id{} to .class{}, causing the element to lose its style.
Upon investigating further, I discovered that this problem only occurred within my main HTML document. Surprisingly, if I created a new HTML file containing only the problematic <div> and linked it to the same stylesheet, the changes worked perfectly.
The initial code looked like this:
CSS:
#player_options_button_container{
display: block;
border: solid;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
}
HTML:
<div id="player_options_button_container">
<button class="hit_button" type="button" >Hit</button>
<button class="stay_button" type="button" >Stay</button>
</div>
Everything functioned as expected until I made the following modifications:
CSS:
.player_options_button_container{
display: block;
border: solid;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
}
HTML:
<div class="player_options_button_container">
<button class="hit_button" type="button" >Hit</button>
<button class="stay_button" type="button" >Stay</button>
</div>
Subsequently, the styling attributes failed to apply to the <div>. Despite extensive troubleshooting efforts, including searching for the class/id in all related files and inspecting elements using Chrome Developer Tools, the issue persisted without any clear resolution.
At this point, I am perplexed and seeking advice on what other factors in an HTML document could potentially disrupt the styling of a <div> in such a manner. Any insights or suggestions would be immensely valued.
