Issue
To bring more weight to a CSS property, it is suggested to use !important
In normal use, a rule defined in an external style sheet is overruled by a style defined in the head of the document. This is then overruled by an inline style within the element.

Resolution
For example, the following styles were contained in a style sheet. The paragraph text would be rendered in blue, even though the first style of property applied is red. This is because the blue value is listed second. Since CSS is read top-to-bottom, the last style is blue and it gets applied to the paragraph.
p { color: red; }
p { color: blue; }
To make the paragraph force to text always red, change the style as follows:
p { color: red !important; }
p { color: blue; }
Defining a rule with the !important attribute takes priority over the normal style and overrides it.
Other examples:
color: lightgreen !important;
size: 12ex !important;
text-align:justify !important;
background-color: darkgreen !important;
