6 Questionssssss

1. SUMMON Is the CSS even being summoned by the page?
2. STALE Is the CSS stale because of file caching?
3. SELECTOR Does the selector match the element?
4. SPECIFICITY Is a more specific selector overriding the property?
5. SUPPORT Is the property supported by the browser (version/doc mode)?
6. SATISFY Does the property satisfy the need independently?
