Question

Hi i am trying to inject custom css into a page my manifest file is as below

{
  "name": "SaneHaveeru",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "This is to properly display haveeru .",
  "browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "icon.png"
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["http://www.haveeru.com.mv/*"], 
      "css" : ["proper.css"]
    }
],
  "permissions": [
    "http://www.haveeru.com.mv/"
  ]

}

the css i am injecting is

.post-frame {
    float: left;
    width: 470px;
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 30px;
    color: #292929;
}

but it seem that the pages css is overriding my custom css. as seen here
Is their way to force my css changes on to the page ?

cheers

Put !important at the end of all your css rules…

.post-frame {
    float: left !important;
    width: 470px !important;
    font-size: 18px !important;
    line-height: 30px !important;
    color: #292929 !important;
}
