If two conflicting styles affect an element, how does the browser decide which one to apply?
- The style declared in the first stylesheet loaded takes precedence.
- The style declared in the last stylesheet loaded takes precedence.
- The style with the highest specificity is applied.
- The style with the lowest specificity is applied.
When two conflicting styles affect an element, the browser prioritizes the style declared in the last stylesheet loaded. This is known as the "cascading" nature of CSS, where later declarations override earlier ones. Specificity comes into play only if the conflicting styles are in the same stylesheet.
