What css attribute is more important?

What is more important: putting the style in the <div style="color: black !important"> or using a class and defining a value !important?

What is more important:

border-color: black !important;
border-right-color: transparent !important;

Will the right border be transparent now, or will it be black?

  1. Obviously, something is missing between "... style in the" and "or using ...". Use backticks for inline code snippets.
  2. Sinse both styles are used with !important, their strength is calculated according to their specificity, that are also equal. Thus, first applies, then the following is ovverriding first. Finally, we have top, left, bottom borders black, and right is transparent. See http://jsfiddle.net/hjrvue13/

UPD: I see you edited your question.

Inline style is more important than class, if class have directive !important, class is more important. If both inline and class have !important, again inline style is more important.

!important, is used to determine priority.

.div {border:1px solid #ccc}
.div2 {border:2px solid #fff !important} //priority

style has hieher Specificity then a class.

you could see all about Specificity here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity

I think the answer to question 2, is what comes latest in the css.

Q1: If you mark as important in a class and then try to put a style for the same property, WON'T be applied.

Q2: It depends on the order that you put this on your file. They have the same priority. The latest one, will be the one that will be applied

In this case, left,top and bottom borders will be black. But, the border right will be transparent. Depends of the order of the commands. Because, both they have the same level of priority.
