Hi Jacobus,
You'll need to resend this to the list as it was blocked and only sent to me
because you had a read receipt request on it.

Re: [WSG] CSS / JavaScript Problem
Simply remove the !important. If both selectors have the same
specifity, the last one in the source order (or last to be imported)
will (*should*) take precedence.

[WSG] CSS / JavaScript Problem
Anybody have a solution for the following:
I have a default style for a element:
#s1 {height: 215px;}
In some of the pages I need to update this value to auto, and I use
!important setting to enforce this, via a updates.css file:
#s1 {height: auto !important;}
Now here is the problem:
I now have to look at 2 elements, via JavaScript, in the doc, check which
has the highest high value and assign that value to both elements. No matter
what value I assign to both elements, the previous !important setting
overrides the new values.
Is there any way I can override the !important setting via JavaScript?
I need a solution quite urgent, and will keep digging into this myself, but
if anybody knows how, I would really appreciate this.
Thanks in advance!
