Hi Louis, Christian, and all others,
In preparation of the restyling of the website:
tigris.css has 16 !important declarations
inst.css has 33 !important declarations
We should remove all these declarations now for once and for all, they
make styling our website messy. !important use should be considered a
hack, good for testing, and maybe resolving some browser quircks, not
something that we should be using for the styling the global website
in general.
If we have to work around these declarations with implementing the new
design, this includes only a cascade of more !important declarations...
+10
What would be the (negative) consequences of removing the declarations?
Someone skilled in css would have to laboriously work through all the
current style sheets and try and untangle the mess that is there. My
guess is that every one of those !important declarations has been put in
as a 'quick fix' for some issue or other, so taking them out will break
whatever they were fixing.
I feel a need for a staging server, and someone with a lot of
persistence and free time on their hands.
