I'm just wondering to know that about cascading. Is the css called cascading because this stores in cache?
What is the reason for css to say or name it cascading?
Cascading is when multiple items is row follow each other's in order
Have you ever heard about the Domino's cascading effect, in which when a piece fall it will cause the next piece fall till the end.
Css is named cascading because the effect is cascading according to where is your style
There are 3 locations where the style is located
Inline
Internal
External
So the styling is cascading in following order:
The html element will search for inline style and apply it, if there is no inline style then it will CASCADE to internal style and apply it, and if there is no internal style then it Will CASCADE to the external style and apply it
Got it?

At some point during development, I indented text to -999 without realizing it. I have no idea where I could have done this so I started to mess with the CSS of the website. I found what I was looking for but as you can see in the screenshot the first CSS is prioritized over the second. I was curious as to whether or not you can change the priority or order of that list.
screenshot of website
To change the priority of a CSS element, you have to add !important. In this case, add text-indent: 0 !important;
The !important property in CSS means that all subsequent rules on an element are to be ignored, and the rule denoted by !important is to be applied. This rule overrides all previous styling rules -- the !important property increases its priority.

So I have a CSS selector for a completely separate dialog in my application called "wizard-grid". This selector is nowhere in the HTML for this file, yet for some unknown reason the browser seems to be ignoring the parent selectors and inheriting from "select" for my dropdowns on this page. These files are minified, could that have something to do with it?
I even did a search in my entire project and the only place where the "wizard-grid" class is mentioned is in one CSS file and one HTML file that are not related to this page. I put a picture of what the broswer is interpreting below:
There are 3 separate selectors there, separated by comma. The "parent" selectors only apply to the input, not to the select or .search
.wizard-grid .wizard-body input
select
.search
I'm guessing what you probably want is this. You must have a mistake in your CSS somewhere.
.wizard-grid .wizard-body input
.wizard-grid .wizard-body select
.wizard-grid .wizard-body .search

I want to make high priority of external CSS class than internal class and inline CSS class. Is It possible? How can I do that?
Its bad practice but can be done.
If you put !important after your selector it should overide inline styles.
Idealy though you would remove the inline markup.
Example
.myclass{
color : red !important;
}
yes it is possible you can use !important in your external css classes to give them high priority...rather inline & embed css

I am using Kendo UI with ASP MVC3 to build some forms. I am using the dropdown and datepicker widgets, which are styled larger that standard inputs. To ensure standard textboxes will match, Kendo has provided the .k-textbox class, which when assigned to a textbox, will style it to match the widgets.
I have created a template that does the job but is requiring a little extra coding to handle some conflicts, no biggie. However, I was wondering if there was a way to make an attribute selector (eg: input[type="text"]) inherit the style from another styled class. So could I make input[type=:text"] use the same styles as .k-textbox, without copying all the class data over?
You could add your selector to the existing one, separated by a comma:
.k-textbox, input[type="text"] {
/* classes already written by Kendo */
}
but then you won't be able to easily update this CSS when Kendo updates it.

Complex CSS selector for parent of active child
How would I make a css selector with that applies style to a table cell that has an input child element?
Unfortunately, you can't target parent elements in CSS yet (I believe it will come in CSS3)(see Sam's answer). If you want to do this, you'll either have to a) use javascript or b) add a class name to the td containing the input.
Here is a nice reference of the selectors you can use currently to target children, siblings, types, etc.
According to Wikipedia:
Selectors are unable to ascend
CSS offers no way to select a parent or ancestor of element that satisfies certain criteria. A more advanced selector scheme (such as XPath) would enable more sophisticated stylesheets. However, the major reasons for the CSS Working Group rejecting proposals for parent selectors are related to browser performance and incremental rendering issues.
And for anyone searching SO in future, this might also be referred to as an ancestor selector.
If you're using jQuery:
$("td input").each(function() { $(this).parent("td").css("style", "value"); });
