gives it less weight. In case of conflicting rules, style sheets read later will override
previous ones.
Note
Style sheets are applied in the order in which they are included in a section. The styles in each
following style sheet add up to the styles found in previously read style sheets. When style sheets
have a conflicting rule for the same element, class or ID, the last style sheet wins and overrides
the rule found in the previous style sheet.
Note
Which style sheets are included can also be set for the Web context as a whole: in step 1, right-
click the Web context, instead of a section.
How to determine which styles are applied
To see which styles are applied to an element, select the element (see "Selecting an element"
on page526) and take a look at the Styles pane that sits next to the Attributes pane.
Tip
Content added by a script isn't visible in Design mode, but is visible and can be inspected in
Preview mode.
The Styles pane shows which CSS style rules apply to the currently selected element.
A link next to a style rule will open the file where that particular style is defined. This can be
either a CSS file or the source file of a section if local formatting was used (see "Styling and
formatting" on page614).
A crossed-out style rule signals that it was overruled by another style rule. This happens when:
l A more specific, and therefore more important rule, is encountered for the same element.
See "Using a more specific CSS rule" on the facing page to learn more about the
specificity of style rules.
