Custom CSS question

[intellagentz 0]

If you include custom code CSS section within the Platform framework, does it override a similar existing code or is only used for additional code. Ex. a specific font color=blue I enter a custom code that refers to same class but select red, instead. Does my code override or do I have to actually delete the other code in the stylesheet?

It should override it. Style sheets "cascade" meaning styles override the one above them. For example:

	h1,h2,h3{color:black}
	
	h1{color:red}

The color of an h1 will be red.

For some reason, it didn't. In my case, the stylesheet was refer a Section stylesheet (superfish.css) Not sure if that was the reason.

it will override, just make sure it is more specific than the original rule: e.g. original `body p{background...}` more specific `body #page p{background...}`

That's the thing, what if it's not more specific and simply a different value. Would that explain why it would NOT override? If so, is that a case where one needs to edit the CSS file itself?

Never edit the CSS itself, or else you'll have problems updating. Just try and make it more specific, that's the correct way to do it
