Question

I am working with an unnamed javascript plug-in.

During a certain operation of said plugin, under a specific circumstance, the plugin changes the style attributes of certain elements on my page.

Without delving into the plugin code itself (I want to avoid that if possible), is there a way to prevent the style attributes of those elements from being altered? I’m thinking perhaps a block somehow, or a way to lock the current style attribute to prevent changes?

I’m leaving the plugin unnamed because, while it would be great if someone actually could walk me though editing a plugin’s code to meet my needs, I strongly doubt that’s going to happen. And if there is a solution that fits my above perimeters, it would be much more useful and easier to implement.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Answer 1

You could always add !important to the style rules that you wish to prevent the plugin from overriding (I’m assuming that it inserts inline styles.)
