how to use ! important in css
To use !important in CSS, you can add it after a property value to override any conflicting styles. It is used to give a specific style higher priority. Here's an example:
css Copy code
p {
color: red !important;
}
In the above example, the color property of the p element is set to red and the !important keyword is added after the value. This means that no matter what other styles are applied to the p element, the color will always be red.
However, it is generally recommended to use !important sparingly, as it can make your CSS code harder to maintain. It is good practice to use specificity and the natural cascade of styles to determine the priority of styles instead.
how to target one HTML link in css
To target one specific HTML link in CSS, you can use the 'id' attribute to select the link element uniquely. The id of an element must be unique within the HTML document.
Here is an example of how to target an HTML link with the ID of "my-link" in CSS:
css Copy code
#my-link {
/* CSS properties go here */
}
In the HTML document, the link element with id "my-link" would have the following structure:
html Copy code
<a href="#" id="my-link">Link Text</a>
In the CSS code above, the '#' symbol represents the 'id' selector in CSS. The 'my-link' is the value of the id attribute of the HTML link element, which is used to select this element.
Here's a helpful article on CSS selectors and how to use them: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors
what are CSS best practices
CSS best practices are coding techniques that promote maintainable and well-formatted code. Some best practices include:

how to determine which rule is overriding applied style
To determine which rule is overriding applied style, you need to find the βspecificityβ of the rules applied. The more βspecificβ of a rule is, the more likely to override another rule. CSS works by cascading a set of rules and the last rule that is set is what gets applied. To help determine the specificity of a rule, you can use a calculator such as Specificity Calculator to see which rule is more specific and overrides any style setting.
why is my element being overridden?
It is most likely that your element is being overridden by a style defined in another CSS rule with a higher specificity. To debug this, you can inspect the element and view the list of applied styles to determine which rule is overriding it. The dev tools console may also provide more information about which styles were loaded and which were ignored.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. π€―
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here π
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! π Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! ππͺ
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! π
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! π
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. π©βπ»π€π»
