make high priority of external css class than internal and inline css

Question

I want to make high priority of external CSS class than internal class and inline CSS class. Is It possible? How can I do that?

you could use `!important` to make the priority high, but it is not recommended... — Carl0s1z, May 27 '14 at 11:01
You should use the `!important` tag in your external CSS file. — sp00m, May 27 '14 at 11:01

Its bad practice but can be done.

If you put !important after your selector it should overide inline styles.

Idealy though you would remove the inline markup.

Example

.myclass{
   color : red !important;
}

I am not really in favour of `!important` and encourage anyone to use it – Kheema Pandey May 27 '14 at 11:22
