Bug 13200 – Webkit doesn’t honour specificities

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[David Latapie]

I was sure I already entered it, but I can’t find it right now.

On CSS specifities:

Here in English, but I don’t find it that clear: http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/link-specificity.html

Here in French: http://blog.empyree.org/post/2837 and in English: http://blog.empyree.org/post/3122

The test case uses two styles (in that writing order):

/* specificity 0,0,2 */
        html table :before, html table :after {content:inherit}

/* specificity 0,0,1 */
        abbr:after          {content:" ("attr(title)")"}
Even though it is the last one, the second one shall be overridden by the first, by virtue of specificities. This is the case with Opera (I did not checked with Gecko).

You filed it already and it was marked a dup of yet another bug you filed.  Search for "content: inherit".

The title of the previous one mislead me. My original mistake. I should sleep before submitting. Thank you. I will reply on the previous bug.
