ok, here is myResource.css
.gwtCellButton button { margin: 0; padding: 5px 7px; text-decoration: none; ....more styles here... } .gwtCellButton button:active { border: 1px inset #ccc; } .gwtCellButton button:hover { border-color: orange; color: orange; }
Now I want to have .gwtCellButtonSmall
that is exactly like .gwtCellButton
except that it has padding: 1px 2px;
Ofcourse if i do like this, then I can duplicate code:
.gwtCellButtonSmall button { margin: 0; padding: 1px 2px; text-decoration: none; ....more styles here... } .gwtCellButtonSmall button:active { border: 1px inset #ccc; } .gwtCellButtonSmall button:hover { border-color: orange; color: orange; }
If I understand your question correctly, you want to have two elements with similar styles with one having different padding
.
Is so, you can share styles between the two elements:
.gwtCellButton button, .gwtCellButtonSmall button{
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 7px;
text-decoration: none;
...
}
Then use !important
to override the padding
for the specific element:
.gwtCellButtonSmall button{
padding: 1px 2px !important
}
Or you could use something like Sass .
Use !important
. The property which has !important
overrides the exactly property if there are any other.
So your case,
padding: 1px 2px!important;
Heavily using them causes you some problems sometimes. Thus, do not forget to have a quick look at this summary too.
You should not need to duplicate any code or, worse, use !important
.
This problem can be solved through the use of modifier classes by specifying two classes on each HTML element: a base gwtCellButton
class and a modifier class ( regular
and small
in this example).
.gwtCellButton button {
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
}
.gwtCellButton.regular button {
padding: 5px 7px;
}
.gwtCellButton.small button {
padding: 1px 2px;
}
Using the !important
declaration unnecessarily can lead to specificity issues down the line.
