@Compguy_PeteNov 21.2002 — A suggestion might be to post a link to a page that uses this coding.

With that we can see the page and code in context.

@Robert_WellockNov 21.2002 — Haven't seen you for a while Pete, nice to see you again. The "!important" statement basically means the statement within the CSS takes precedence under the cascading rules, however if you want a more detailed explanation then visit the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) http://www.w3.org/

@StefanNov 21.2002 — Specifically you should read this part (and you need to read the whole section if you really want to understand how and what !important does)
