The only problem with CSS is that a lot of people use it without understanding the basic rules of the cascade. !important is just one thing another thing is that you shouldn't use ids as in id="myId" for styling because an id has too much weight compared to tags or classes. The only way to override a styled id is with another id - and at this point everybody should realize that no thing should have two identification-tags! CSS is beautiful and extremely logical. I can very much recommend the book "CSS in depth" by Keith J. Grant - by reading this you go from asking CSS questions on Stackoverflow to answering them. edit: just to make clear I made the same mistakes for years.
