cascading rule in main.css

I have a main.css file with many rules. The first rule is for anchors: a { text-decoration: none; color: #6ab48f; }

follows by more rules for headers, paragraphs and so on. What if there is another rule also for anchors later on:

a { color: #6ab47b; } My question will be: will the next rule for a override the color property for the first anchor rule?

Emy.

Yep.

If you have two rules that have the same level of specificity then the latest one will override the first one.
