Bug #1077
closedLater added external CSS file overriten by Wt's internal CSS file
0%
Description
I'm using Wt3.1.11.
I need to switch the CSS file used dynamically.
In my code , I will add a new CSS file using "WApplication::useStyleSheet" according to some conditions. This CSS file will conflict with the internal "wt.css" , it changes the style of ".Wt-tabs". I expected the new added CSS file to overrite "wt.css" , but that didn't happen.
I found that the new added CSS is linked in the
element , and the internal "wt.css" is imported in the
element . So that the internal "wt.css" has a higher priority as it appears later. Is that right ?(I don't know much about CSS overriting rule). If so , I think Wt generated the wroing html code . The internal "wt.css" should be referenced in the html code at the very first so that it will be overriten by custom CSS files.

Hey,
Stylesheets you add using useStyleSheet() really take precedence over Wt's own stylesheets. We often rely on this feature ourselves, so I would like to learn a more specific case of where you see things go wrong.

I attached a project that shows the problem.
I use qmake as the project manager.
I didn't add the css file during the construction of the application.
When I click at the button , it will add a new css file "GeniePre.css" using useStyleSheet. I customed the style of Wt-tabs , so it conflicts with the internal css. But it was overwritten by the internal css file.
If I add the css file during the construction of the application , then it overwrites the internal css as expected.

Hey,
Indeed, for stylesheets added later, your analysis was correct. Somehow we never tested that scenario w.r.t. overriding the built-in stylesheet.
This has now been fixed in git.
As a workaround, you could consider to make the selectors that you override more specific, by prefixing them for example with "body ", so that they still take priority even if they are "up" in the document.
