adj sibling selector, style rule crossed out in F-Bug

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,
Was trying to use an adjacent sibling selector to nudge a radio button (they appear at the top right of the page).
But when looking at my style rule in Firebug I see there is a strikethru through the rule.
What is overriding my style rule? Makes me think i don’t understand inheritance(?).

the code is simply

#first + input {border:1px solid #00f}
or i tried

#first + .radio-btn {border:1px solid #00f}

Here is a link, thanks!

@aj_nscFeb 28.2011 — If it's crossed out and grey, that means that rule has already been applied to that element but has been overwritten by a more specific selector.

EDIT: Looks like you must've already solved it.

@toptomatoauthorFeb 28.2011 — i removed the class .radio-btn and replaced the css with

#first + input, but did not work.

how can i be more specific without assigning it an id?,


which i'm trying to avoid?

the second radio should have a blue border around it for the sake of troubleshooting,

@aj_nscFeb 28.2011 — I see this in the inspector:

<i>
</i>#first+input { border: 1px solid lime; }


No grey line no nothing. Of course the border doesn't get applied to a radio button, but that doesn't mean to say that the rule isn't getting applied.

EDIT: Never noticed it in firebug myself, but you're probably seeing it because the radio input doesn't accept a border style in most modern browsers:

@toptomatoauthorFeb 28.2011 — thats weird because i see it as marked out in the inspector and

why is it saying the color is lime?!?!

and yeah, makes sense browsers may not put a border on a radio button, thanks
