In general, IDs take precedence over classes for CSS style rules. One
thing you could do is refer to a containing element's ID in the style
rule for the class. Something like this:
#container .new_class {
color: #FFF;
}
hope that helps.

Hello, I have tried this code:
$('#some_div').addClass('new_class');
And it works really well, it adds the class to the element. The
problem is that if this element had previously had any style applied
to it like:
#some_div {
color: #F00;
}
to change the color with the new class I'd have to use !important so
it can be applied like this:
.new_class {
color: #FFF !important;
}
does anyone knows why this happen? it works great and everything but I
rather not use the important statement if possible.
thanks.
