Utilizing the style attribute instead of a class for tag styling

Currently working on an app utilizing ASP.NET Web Forms and aiming to incorporate bootstrap.css for styling purposes. However, encountering issues with button properties conflicting between the default Style.css and bootstrap.

This is the HTML markup:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" type="button"  CssClass="btn btn-primary" runat="server"
Text="View data" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

Default Style.css Properties:


input[type="submit"], input[type="button"], button {<br>
background-color: #d3dce0;<br>
border: 1px solid #787878;<br>
cursor: pointer;<br>
font-size: 1.2em;<br>
font-weight: 600;<br>
padding: 7px;<br>
margin-right: 8px;<br>
width: auto;<br>
}

Bootstrap Properties:


.btn-primary {<br>
color: #ffffff;<br>
background-color: #428bca;<br>
border-color: #357ebd;<br>
}<br>

The issue lies in the background-color being pulled from Style.css instead of bootstrap.

What could be causing this conflict?

Answer №1

The reason behind this phenomenon lies in specificity. The guidelines state:

  • If the declaration comes from a 'style' attribute rather than a rule with a selector, count it as 1, otherwise 0 (= a) (In HTML, values of an element's "style" attribute are considered style sheet rules without selectors, making a=1, b=0, c=0, and d=0.)
  • Calculate the number of ID attributes in the selector (= b)
  • Tally up the other attributes and pseudo-classes in the selector (= c)
  • Add up the element names and pseudo-elements in the selector (= d)

By concatenating these four numbers a-b-c-d (in a numerical system with a high base) we get the specificity.

In essence:

input[type="button"]   has specificity   0,0,1,1
.btn-primary           has specificity   0,0,1,0

The first example takes precedence due to its higher specificity, regardless of their order.
