CSS not working

Edit: remember also there is no space between the important declaration and the rest of the CSS, e.g.:

color: #000!important;

Sorry, Kami, but that's not entirely true - as I've used something like color: #000 !important; many times without issue. Whitespace is ignored, which is why something like:


.classname {
  font-weight: normal !important;
  color: #ffff00;
  background-color: #0000ff !important;
}


works is because of whitespace being ignored. If whitespace wasn't ignored, it would have to be:


.classname{font-weight;normal!important;color:#ffff00;background-color:#0000ff!important;}


Whitespace is just a matter of preference for readability. But you are correct in that the syntax has to be correct.

No need to be sorry! Thank you for the clarification / correction :D
