?

858 PointsIn Css one rule comes after another, like water that keeps going over a cascade, so one rule can cancel out a rule that came before it.
So for example, if I have a rule that says
section { background: #ccc; }
and then a rule that says
section { background: #784455; }
the background of the main part of my page will be the second color that I wrote the section to be.
I hope this helps.

858 PointsHello Atik,
After a CSS property comes a value that tells the what should be done with the element you selected from the HTML code. The selector, the property and the value between curly braces is called a rule. For example, all of the following is a rule
nav { background-color: #553377; }
is a rule that says what the background color of the navigation should be. The selector is the nav, which selects your navigation from the html file, the property is the background-color, and the value is the color you want your navigation background to be. The property and the value go between curly braces.
I hope this helps. :)

858 PointsHello Atik,
I have to applogize for not replying to you sooner. I could help you little by little, as long as I am ahead of you in the videos because I am a beginner too. I thought I relpied to the question about what cascading means in css but I am sad to see that the response is not here.
Cascading in Css means that one rule comes after another and one rule can cancel out another.
For example,
if I write
nav { background-color: #5287ff, }
and then I write another rule for the background color of the navigation and I say
nav { background-color: #682134; }
that means that the color of the background color of the navigation will be the second color I wrote down because it comes after the first.
If I write a third color for the background of the navigation, the navigation background will be the third color.
I hope this helps!
