What is the best way to incorporate code into a page with numerous conflicting CSS styles, without resorting to Scoped CSS?

Struggling to incorporate tab code into a page with conflicting CSS? Even after attempts to edit classes and labels, the original code fights back against the new additions. While scoped CSS seems like the perfect fix, it's not widely supported yet.

What other solutions can be explored?

Check out this JS Fiddle for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/dcLjve28/1/ Feel free to visit the page where I intend to implement the tabs for better box organization:

I won't include the extensive CSS already present on the page unless requested, but here's the code I'm looking to add:

<div class="tabs">
    <!-- Radio button and label for #tab-content1 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab1" checked >
    <label for="tab1">
       <i class="fa fa-rocket" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<span>Projects</span>
    </label>
    <!-- Radio button and label for #tab-content2 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab2">
    <label for="tab2">
        <i class="fa fa-users" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Flash-Mobs</span>
    </label>
    <!-- Radio button and label for #tab-content3 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab3">
    <label for="tab3">
       <i class="fa fa-heartbeat" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Movement</span>
    </label>
    <div id="tab-content1" class="tab-content">
        <h3>Positive Action Projects</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content1 -->
    <div id="tab-content2" class="tab-content">
        <h3>International Positive Action Days</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content2 -->
    <div id="tab-content3" class="tab-content">
     <h3>Grow the Movement</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content3 -->

CSS

.tabs {
    max-width: 90%;
    float: none;
    list-style: none;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 75px auto;
    border-bottom: 4px solid #ccc;
}
.tabs:after {
    content: '';
    display: table;
    clear: both;
}
.tabs input[type=radio] {
    display:none;
}
/* Additional CSS styling provided */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .tabs i {
        padding: 5px;
        margin-right: 10px;
    }
    .tabs label span {
        display: inline-block;
    }
    .tabs {
    max-width: 750px;
    margin: 50px auto;
    }
}

Answer №1

When targeting elements, you can choose between the common solution of selecting the element itself and then the class (e.g., '.paragraph' vs 'p.paragraph'). Another option is to use !important rules, although this may lead to a more complex code structure that could be difficult to manage in the future. To make it easier to keep track of these rules, consider creating a separate .css file specifically for them.

To implement this approach, you can do the following:

p.pragraph {
  font-size: 20px !important;
  letter-spacing: 1px !important;
}

Simply add "!important" before each style change to enforce the rule.
