Overide Blueprint

[SR8]

Hi,

Is there a way to override the styling provided by blueprint in
specific instances?

For example, working in asp .net certain controls are automatically
rendered as html tables, but for those specific instances I want
Blueprint's css styling to be ignored.

In other words is there a class where no formatting is applied?

Thanks.

Hello,

This question has already been asked. We do not find an easy way to do this.

One way is to use "frames".

The other way I have suggested involves the use of a script that extracts all properties from a given set of CSS files. The script has been quickly written using Perl. But I've never tested it in real world situations... I am not totally sure that it can work (I mean: some CSS may be tricky).

Regards,

Denis

presumably you would either include your own css for the table, or you would comment out blueprints css for tables.

I had this issue. As far as I could tell there is no clean way to stop the cascade.
In most instances I used firebug to copy/paste the 'computed styles' into new classes and reset them all to default.

It depends a little on your setup and how you add classes & ids. One good "rule" is to add an ID to every main element below your ".container" (example: header, main-content, footer, etc.) and then classes to every sub-element container in there (example: menu, logo, etc.). This way you override blueprint css specifications with ease: Just go for a higher specifity with your custom stylesheet and load it after blueprint stylesheets were loaded. Then override the following definitions:

table {margin-bottom:; width:;}
th {font-weight:;}
th, td, caption {padding:;}
thead th,tbody tr:nth-child(even) td, tbody tr.even td,caption {background:;}
tfoot {font-style:;}
