--description--

We just proved that browsers read CSS from top to bottom in order of their declaration. That means that, in the event of a conflict, the browser will use whichever CSS declaration came last. Notice that if we even had put blue-text before pink-text in our h1 element's classes, it would still look at the declaration order and not the order of their use!

But we're not done yet. There are other ways that you can override CSS. Do you remember id attributes?

Let's override your pink-text and blue-text classes, and make your h1 element orange, by giving the h1 element an id and then styling that id.

--instructions--

Give your h1 element the id attribute of orange-text. Remember, id styles look like this:

<h1 id="orange-text">

Leave the blue-text and pink-text classes on your h1 element.

Create a CSS declaration for your orange-text id in your style element. Here's an example of what this looks like:

#brown-text {
color: brown;
}

Note: It doesn't matter whether you declare this CSS above or below pink-text class, since the id attribute will always take precedence.

--hints--

Your h1 element should have the class pink-text.

assert($('h1').hasClass('pink-text'));

Your h1 element should have the class blue-text.

assert($('h1').hasClass('blue-text'));

Your h1 element should have the id of orange-text.

assert($('h1').attr('id') === 'orange-text');

There should be only one h1 element.

assert($('h1').length === 1);

Your orange-text id should have a CSS declaration.

assert(code.match(/#orange-text\s*{/gi));

Your h1 should not have any style attributes.

assert(!code.match(/<h1.*style.*>/gi));

Your h1 element should be orange.

assert($('h1').css('color') === 'rgb(255, 165, 0)');
