!important

• Normally, the last rule listed in the cascade will take precedence over previous rules. In this example, the body font will be Verdana, not Times.

• • body {font-family: Times;
  • font-family: Verdana;}

• However, by entering !important in a rule, that rule will take precedence, regardless of its location. In this example, the body font will be Times, not Verdana.

• • body {font-family: Times !important; font-family: Verdana;}

• Note: !important does not work with all properties in Internet Explorer 6.
