Inherit CSS class

Does CSS support inheritance ?

Assuming we have:

.base
{
}

.class1 :base
{
}

.class2 :base
{
}

How can I make class1 and class2 contain all styles which exist in base?

Answer 1

CSS doesn’t support inheritance in the class sense of the word, but is based on specifity and order. If you define a common set of properties for classes class1 and class2, and then specialize as needed.

.class1, .class2
{
    font-size:1.1em;
}

.class1
{
    color:red;
}

.class2
{
    color:green;
}
