I have this footer and a logo that works fine without bootstrap, but bootstrap is just messing it up. I can't find whats wrong, because I don't know what bootstrap applied to the element. I know I can overwrite it, but I need to know what to overwrite. Is there any way of showing the styling bootstrap applied to the element or just disable all bootstrap styling for that element, not knowing what it is? Also, I need the bootstrap for the rest of the site, so I can't remove the link.
You have the override the governing style rule. Follow these simple ways, you can use Google Chrome to find out the inherited styles:
Open the URL in the browser.
Right click and select inspect on the Inspect.
On the right side, click on the computed.
You will be able to see from where it's inherited.
In the above example, check out the font-size and font-weight. There are so many inherits. Hope this was helpful.
CSS is hierarchical, meaning the styles from the firstly included CSS file gets overwritten with a secondly included file, if both have definitions for the same tag/class/id.
Add bootstrap as the first include CSS in your head of the document and then include your custom CSS files.
This should solve most clashing CSS styles automatically.

I am using Twitter Bootstrap via cdn and I need to change a little bit the column height of a table but I am not sure how to do it. I am using cdn so I don't have the downloaded bootstrap.css file. I tried to overwrite the class table-striped and change it's default styling but no luck.
Is it possible to do it with cdn?
Thanks.
You, obviously, can't change the existing CSS file.
You need to load another CSS file and write a new rule-set to replace the rules in the existing one.
The trickiest part of this will be making sure that the selector you use is specific enough so that it overwrites the earlier rules.
You can file the exact selector used to apply the rules you want to change using the Inspector built into the developer tools in your browser. Inspect the element and look at the styles.
You can copy/paste the selector directly. That way your selector will be equally specific and, because your stylesheet is loaded after the Bootstrap one, will replace any rules that set the same property.
My question is very basic but i didn't find its answer on stack overflow. I like to know how to use normalized.css in "CSS" files. I know that normalized.css help you to make CSS files that can be used in any browser.
normalized.css like yahoo's reset.css and a few others (HTML 5 doctor reset, Vanilla unreset, Universal * reset) aim to make all/most browsers by default look as similar as possible so that you can start from there and then only add the CSS you need that deviates from that point.
Every browser have some predefined css for different HTML tags and css is usually different for different browsers. Like some default padding or margin on div or body. Normalize css just reset everything. So the css you added will show exact same effects in every browser.
Normalize.css is an open source .css file that Nicolas Gallagher made on GitHub: https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
It allows you to apply a "Reset" to your code in order to let most modern browsers use your CSS. To use it, you need to link to it in your HTML like you would any other CSS, but make sure it's above the main stylesheet so that the "Reset" is applied before your own styles.

I have a bunch of css classes with respective css properties which I am using for my web page. My question is, can I change the css properties of those classes as those classes are being used in other web forms as well?Does it affect all the other forms if I change any css proeprty in any of the css class?
Thanks!
Changing the css in an external css file will most likely change the forms on the other pages, too, provided they are linked to that css file and are using that same class to get their stylings.
That’s sort of the idea behind it, where normally people want to make changes “across the board” by changing the CSS sheet only. I wasn’t sure from your comment if this was desirable or not in your case.
Did you want to change just one form, without affecting the others?
So I have had the unpleasant of adopting a project... Anyway, there is a div on the site that displays some information, and for some reason there is an embedded style somewhere that is causing it to display: none; I used Google Chrome's Web Developer plugin to disable all embedded styles and it works fine then. As I inspect the element I can see the style that is causing it, but when i try and disable the CSS property display, it disables but doesn't create that strike-through on the property. I implicitly put an inline style of display: block !important; and still no good. There also doesn't seem to be any reference to a location where that style comes from, doesn't say User Agent Stylesheet, not a reference to any other stylesheet.
The funny thing is, IE it works fine. The div shows perfectly... Firefox, and Safari cause the same problem which led me to think it might actually be a WebKit bug. Just need some more light on this maybe?
Found it. The div's class was advert_container and one of my my browser plugins was AdBlock and this caused the div to be removed...
Were you referencing this display:block !important, inline with the html element, or in some style sheet somewhere?
The closer the CSS attribute is to your problem div this should apply this. Also referencing !important generally overrules other CSS attributes, however if the other CSS attribute is more specific, it could also be the reason why this is getting overruled.
If you are in developer tools, and get the intended effect, you should just copy the css it created, and paste that in your html page.
I have been tasked with making some updates to an existing web control and placing it on an existing web page. The web control uses a lot of hard coded formatting to make it look "pretty", and the web page uses CSS to override just about every visual element you could imaging. So when the control is placed on the page it looks REALLY bad. Its basically unusable and I'm not sure what the best approach is to fix it.
Is there a way to clear CSS from, for example, all elements which are part of a specified DIV, or some way to prevent the main css from being applied to these components?
You could try a CSS reset stylesheet (just add the class yui3-cssreset to your element).
The only problem, though, is that it only normalizes little nuances between browsers, and isn't made for completely killing all stylesheets.
You could, however, edit in code to reset the background, font, border, etc.
You can use the not pseudo selector like:
:not(#idname) {
Properties... }
But that won't work everywhere without a JS shim.
