I'm a little confused about CSS and the class attribute. I always thought, the order in which I specify multiple classes in the attribute value has a meaning. The later class could/should overwrite definitions of the previous, but this doesn't seem to work. Here's an example:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.extra {
color: #00529B;
border:1px solid #00529B; /* Blue */
background-color: #BDE5F8;
}
.basic {
border: 1px solid #ABABAB;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" value="basic" class="basic"/>
<input type="text" value="extra" class="extra"/>
<input type="text" value="basic extra" class="basic extra"/>
<input type="text" value="extra basic" class="extra basic"/>
</body>
</html>
I would expect, the third example with class="basic extra" should have a blue border, since the in extra specified border would overwrite the border from basic.
I'm using FF 3 on ubuntu 9.04
