tag name and tag location question

When you change color to Blue, it changes color by the class="tag name". Why it does not automatically apply also on class="tag location"? These both tags have .tag on them..

Hi David,

You are correct. Both tag classes should have the same color.

However, .location has a background-color styling as well. Its styling appears after the .tag styling in the CSS document. Therefore the background-color of .location is rendered. If you place .location in front of the .tag (in the CSS document) you'll see that the background-color styling of .tag will render in your browser.

This behaviour is the nature of Cascading Style Sheets. Whichever styling is closest to the bottom of the CSS document is rendered in the HTML.

Hope it helps, and good question, Max
