Hello everyone,

We use different colored sections on our landing pages and I'd love to have the option of displaying buttons in different colors. Can I say have a black button with a blue hover in one section and a white button with a black hover on another?

We can currently toggle the BG and hover color of a single button, but cannot affect subsequent buttons.

Here is what our styling code looks like:

As far as I can tell, the !important; color: #ffffff; } script on lines 297 and 298 is what allows me to effectively customize a button's color and hover color.

However, when I try add the script to subsequent buttons, all I achieve is making the last button I added the script to the only one that is customisable.

Is there an error or are we missing code somewhere?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much

As far as I can tell, the !important; color: #ffffff; } script on lines 297 and 298...

This isn't "script," though, it's merely CSS rules (it's very important to distinguish CSS from JS).

Anyway, what you're dealing with here isn't Marketo-specific and it's elemental to the way the CSS cascade works.

Putting !important after a property value (not before, after) sets the property priority to important. You can read more about how important works at the above link and elsewhere. In brief, all properties set to important are evaluated after all properties without important, e.g. for exactly the same selector + property, a value marked important will always win out in the cascade. That doesn't mean that an arbitrary important value will win, it just means the important values compete with each other, if you will, ignoring the non-important ones.

When you repeatedly use !important for exactly the same selector + property you just end up creating a simple top-to-bottom cascade (bottom rule wins).


button {
  color: red !important;
}
button {
  color: blue !important;
}
button {
  color: green !important;
}

always results in green button text. If you insert a non-important rule for the same selector + property, it has no meaning. This will still be green:

button {
  color: red !important;
}
button {
  color: blue !important;
}
button {
  color: green !important;
}
button {
  color: purple;
}

The order of the important rules, other than which one is last, also doesn't matter. This will also be green:

button {
  color: blue !important;
}
button {
  color: red !important;
}
button {
  color: green !important;
}
button {
  color: purple;
}

But there's reams more to learn about CSS than this basic overview of one small area. It's probably time to get a developer involved who's been around this stuff for awhile.

Hey Nick-

I think I see the issue here. The way the styles are written for the buttons here could be improved with just a little tweak to the code. Right now, it looks like there is a class on your buttons called "btn-transparent" [see line 297]. That same class (and it's :hover state) are getting styled three-times-over and as Sanford mentioned, the !important flag on the first is overriding the other two. The way this code reads right now is: Make all buttons the color(s) I set for the Section1 button (b/c that's !important) and ignore what I've set for section 4 and 6.

What you'll want to do here is to write that to be just a bit more specific -- we can start by targeting the Section the button is in, and then we'll target that same class (and drop the !important flag).

So, if you started with this code:

.btn-transparent {background-color: ${section1ButtonBgColor}!important; color: #ffffff; }
.btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section1ButtonBgHoverColor}!important; color: #ffffff; }
.btn-transparent {background-color: ${section4ButtonBgColor}} /* this doesn't get read b/c of the !important flag above it */
.btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section4ButtonBgHoverColor}} /* this doesn't get read b/c of the !important flag above it */
.btn-transparent {background-color: ${section6ButtonBgColor}} /* this doesn't get read b/c of the !important flag above it */
.btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section6ButtonBgHoverColor}} /* this doesn't get read b/c of the !important flag above it */

You'd end up with this code:

#section1 .btn-transparent {background-color: ${section1ButtonBgColor}!important; color: #ffffff; }
#section1 .btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section1ButtonBgHoverColor}!important; color: #ffffff; }
#section4 .btn-transparent {background-color: ${section4ButtonBgColor}}
#section4 .btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section4ButtonBgHoverColor}}
#section6 .btn-transparent {background-color: ${section6ButtonBgColor}}
#section6 .btn-transparent:hover {background-color: ${section6ButtonBgHoverColor}}

Note: I can't see the rendered HTML, but Im assuming based on the stylesheet that you've got about a dozen sections that have an ID value of "section1" thru "section12" [see line 247]. By placing the section id (# in CSS) and a space right before the button styles, this limits the rule here to target only the buttons in those sections. You can think of the space as meaning "inside", so line 1. here would read something like "Find an element with an ID value of "section1", then go inside that element and look for another element with a class (" . " in CSS) of btn-transparent. Make all of those elements text white and background whatever color the section1ButtonBgColor variable is set to."

Let me know if this works for you and if not, I'd be happy to dig in a bit more if you can share a link to a live version of the page so I can see what this looks like when it's all rendered out.
