@Mi B, Just saw this reply. The use of !important would do the trick just fine I guess from my tests, but I choose to use the unset so I didn't have to put !important on everything. background, borders, text, shadows, etc. Also, I hate using !important, so it was also a personal choice.
@Phillippe - I can't find the source where I found the unset now, but did find this note on developer.mozilla which may be why the other site didn't list "none" and why none did not work for the OP. I could be wrong. Source: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-appearance [ Note: If you wish to use this property on websites, you should test it very carefully — it is non-standard, and historically its behavior has changed from one browser to another. In older browsers even the keyword none does not have the same behavior on each form element across different browsers, and some do not support it at all. The differences are smaller in the newest browsers. ] Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com > On Jun 20, 2017, at 5:41 AM, Mi B <digital.disc...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> 20 juni 2017 kl. 12:05 skrev Karl DeSaulniers <k...@designdrumm.com>: >> >> I chose to go with -*-appearance: unset; because I am able to turn it back >> on say on an individual page. >> With !important, I have to override and override and override and can't just >> simply remove the !important. >> Well, not that I have found. >> >> Is there a way to remove original !important statements from an element >> without using !important? >> Heck, even with jQuery you have to override with !important.
