Hi,

Is there any way to apply a style that will effectively block the
application of any applied or inherited styles for that object and any
contained objects?

E.g.,

CSS:
P {backgro...}
DIV P{font-f...}
....
..removeStyles{styles:clear}

HTML:
<div class="removeStyles">
<p>No styles on this!</p>
</div>

Setting the style for .removeStyles to {} does not do it.

TIA

Chandy

No. (I've thought about this feature too actually).

No. And it wouldn't be HTML. It would be CSS, which is discussed in our
sister group c.w.i.a.stylesheets.

You really need to read a tutorial on CSS first. You can't just invent
constructs as you go and expect browsers to read your mind.

Yes, by applying a new style of your choice that overriddes the existing
style.

If I understand your definition of contained objects then to the best of my
knowledge the answer is no.

Lets say you applied a style to all divs on your page. Then you apply an
override style to a particuliar div. If you then insert a new div within
that div it will inherit the style that was originally applied to all divs
and ignore the style of the div it is contained within. Clear as mud right?

[example snipped]

I have a toolbar button on my Mozilla browser (via the PrefBar
extension) that eliminates all CSS from the current Web page that
I'm viewing. This is very handy when I want to test one of my own
Web pages to see how it might look on a browser that does not have
CSS support. To restore CSS for the affected page, I merely reload
the page.

Behind that button is the following script:
javascript:
for(i=0;i<document.styleSheets.length;i++)
{void(document.styleSheets.item(i).disabled=true); }
el=document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for(i=0;i<el.length;i++)
{void(el[i].style.cssText='');}

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>.

Why an extension? Firefox has Tools --> Page Style --> No Style, though
I preferred versions < 1.x which had a stylesheet switcher in the lower
left-hand corner.

Mozilla not have the same thing? Seems strange.

Next time, please ask CSS related questions in a CSS related group.
However, these articles may help you to understand how to achieve the
desired effect.

It's View -> Use Style, but "no style" isn't an option. I wonder
what would happen if I had a user stylesheet with no styles in my
Chrome directory, whether that one would then be an option in View
-> Use Style.

Why not the Web Developer extension? Lots of tools; if you've not
checked it out, you might find it interesting.

Make that View --> Page Style --> No Style.
My mistake.
