Given the following mark-up...
<div id="Header">
<a href="#" class="Highlight">foo</a>
</div>
And the following stylesheet...
/******************Exceptions******************/
#Footer, #Header,
#Footer a, #Header a { color: #f8f8f8; }
/******************Classes******************/
.Highlight, a.Highlight { color: #B1D355; }
.Notification, a.Notification { color: Red; }
Why is my link still off-white (F8F8F8) rather than green (B1D355)?
Shouldn't using the class Highlight override the color settings for Header and Footer since it comes after their declarations?
