!important seems well supported. I know of one IE/Win bug: When an
!important declaration is followed by a normal declaration of the same
property (in a single rule), IE acts like the !important declaration isn't
there.
span { background: green !important; background: red; }
The background should be green, but it is red in IE/Win. IE ignores the
first declaration. That means some weird things happen. Given this CSS:
span { background: green !important; background: red; }
span#bleh { background: blue; }
The order of declarations, from weakest to strongest:
red
blue
green
The element should be green, but the element will be blue in IE/Win.
However, the bug only occurs in a single rule. If our CSS was written like
so:
span { background: green !important; }
span { background: red; }
span#bleh { background: blue; }
IE/Win correctly makes the background green.
