Update: In the current HTML5 spec, as of 2021, a class is known as one of many attributes. Class names are assigned as a set of "space-separated tokens”. The class names are separated by “ASCII whitespace” which is defined as: U+0009 TAB, U+000A LF, U+000C FF, U+000D CR, or U+0020 SPACE.

The "just google it" part seemed a bit unfriendly, so I looked for an article on css inheritance and linked that instead.

@JonathanHenson: According to CSS 2.1 specs, "if two declarations have the same weight, origin and specificity, the latter specified wins. Declarations in imported style sheets are considered to be before any declarations in the style sheet itself." So it is CSS declaration order. The names in the class attribute have no specified order, since .foo is syntactic sugar for [class ~= foo] ref, "foo is a word in the class attribute".

Because the former most certainly does not work in the browsers I tested in, while I have tested the latter hypothesis. | |

| Jan 1, 2014 at 15:22 | comment | added | EternallyCurious | How should a browser be expected to react if an element is assigned to multiple classes that set different values for the same attributes. Is there some order of precedence for that? | |
