    What style will be used when there is more than one style specified for
    an HTML element?




    Generally speaking we can say that all the styles will "cascade" into
    a new "virtual" style sheet by the following rules, where number four
    has the highest priority:



    1. Browser default

    2. External style sheet

    3. Internal style sheet (inside the <head> tag)

    4. Inline style (inside an HTML element)


    So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which
    means that it will override a style declared inside the <head> tag, in
    an external style sheet, or in a browser (a default value).
