CSS definition order

 * I created a test environment and did some testing of the css extension.
 * It seems that the styles injected on the page ( either at the element level or with the css extension ) can not be overwritten by and user means ( User:common.css or User:common.js ).
 * Are you aware of any method that can be used to isolate css attributes to their respective pages, but still allow users to customize the appearance?
 * Check out CSS test page, attributes defined on page do not get overwritten by what i've defined in User:Joenuts/common.css. Remove inline attributes and what was defined in joenuts/common.css takes over. Remove what was defined in Joenuts/common.css and mediawiki:common.css takes over.

 * First thing I would do is (temporarily, for testing purposes) change the class names on your test site. the common.css files are likely overwriting the css tags for whatever reason.  remember, the purpose of the css tags is to inject css into the head of the document where it's acceptable to define classes.  once you do that, you will be able to have a level testing ground.  let me know how it goes.

Popup Template Discussion

 * I actually had started doing a lot of template work on this, and then forgot about it. I was trying to consolidate Popup, Short popup, Long popup, and Image popup into a single template with a dynamic width based on both the user's resolution and the length of the text.  I've looked at your examples, and the one on your project page looks fine but I don't like the transparency one in your sandbox.  I'd also like to figure out how to tweak it so that popups tooltips can be nested to a depth of 3-5 (rarely see any need beyond 2-3, but... it is possible I suppose to be needed at some point).  I'll add some more ideas on this later... ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:53, March 11, 2014 (EDT)
 * I agree with ShoeMaker; the transparent one doesn't look good, but the other one does. Consolidation of the four popup templates is a good idea. Adding dynamic width per ShoeMaker would be awesome; however, I'm not sure how I would go about that. I'm not concerned too with nesting, but it would be useful. -- Zav (Contributions • Message) 21:08, March 11, 2014 (EDT)
