BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.6.04: BMC Remedy Mid Tier ...

Order of precedence
Overview of CSS rules
The style that you ultimately see for an element is created dynamically by the mid
tier and the browser, based on a hierarchy of multiple style sheets, plus any inline
styles.
Styles are applied in downward order from the top of the diagram in Figure 2-1.
Inline styles always override other CSS rules, and application-specific styles
override system styles. The standard style sheet usually contains rules for all
elements with properties that work for all browsers. The other style sheets might
repeat or add a rule with different or unique properties specific to a browser client,
application, locale, or user.

Properties that are not redeclared in succeeding style sheets are applied from the
previous declarations. For example, suppose you have a style rule called
input.text that is declared in the first four source files:
System style sheet:
Combined

User's CSS (through browser options)
In-line styles (through field properties)
input.text {background-color: red; color: black;}
System, browser-specific style sheet:
input.text {border: 1px solid green}
Application, standard style sheet:
input.text {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: blue;}
Application, browser-specific style sheet:
input.text {font-size: 8px; border: 2px;}
