An element may be targeted by multiple selectors and may have a property set on it in more than once. In these cases, one of the rules takes precedence over others. Rules with a more specific selector take precedence over a less specific one, and a rule occuring later in the stylesheet overwrites a previous one (which also means that if two different linked stylesheets contain rules for a block and if the rules below don't differentiate them, then order of linking would take precedence and the sheet linked latest would govern styling) .
