Hi Guys,
I'm just wondering whether injecting my own CSS code overwrites existing styles. for example, if I 'inject' some code for a particular class, do I have to copy all the existing styling for that class and include it in my injection? Or does your system look for the relevant class/ID/whatever and update it with the injected code?
Many thanks,
Leon

Hi,

No. CSS does not work that way. Injecting a style for a certain class will only add it, and not overwrite the other existing properties.

There is no need to copy the existing ones and include it to your injection.

Hope this answers your question. Feel free to contact us again if you have other queries or concerns.

Great.

I found this out after injecting some code into my form and viewing the source afterwards.

Many thanks for the quick response!

I have a questiong, for example, when I want to style my form differently and when I use for example .form-header-group { background-image:url('http://www.degrieksekookgek.nl/versie2/menu/menitem_bg-1.jpg'); nothing changes when I inject this code, what is the use of injecting it?

I thought this way you could change the looks of the form, but the above change does not have any effect. Also tried to change the background image of the form, also not working when I inject the code for it.

Hope someone can help me out.
