But there are some circumstances where you need to do it the other way around. As in, there are inline styles on some markup that you absolutely can’t remove, but you need to override what those styles are. This could be markup that is being inserted onto the page from foreign JavaScript or perhaps generated from the bowels of a CMS that you cannot control easily.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://css-tricks.com/override-inline-styles-with-css/"><CODE class="html">&lt;div style="background: red;"&gt;
