CSS Order
Tailwind CSS relies on the order of classes. The last class applied takes precedence. Check the order of your classes to ensure that responsive classes are not overridden by subsequent classes.
Approach
- Design an HTML document with appropriate meta tags and Tailwind CSS linked from a CDN.
- Create a centered, responsive layout with a gray background and flex properties.
- Implement a text container with a default gray color, overriding it with blue on medium screens and green on large screens using Tailwind’s responsive classes.
- Ensure that the order of classes is correct, placing responsive classes after non-responsive ones to avoid unintended overrides in your Tailwind CSS.
Example: This is another example that illustrates fixing the issue for override of the responsive breakpoint in Tailwind CSS by ensuring that responsive classes come after non-responsive classes in the HTML.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Improved Responsive Text Color</title> <!-- Including Tailwind CSS --> <link rel="stylesheet" href= "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.2.19/dist/tailwind.min.css"> </head> <body class="bg-gray-100 flex items-center justify-center h-screen"> <div class="text-center text-gray-600 md:text-blue-500 lg:text-green-500"> <p class="text-2xl font-bold p-4"> Geeks For Geeks </p> </div> </body> </html> |
Output: In this corrected example, the text color should change at different breakpoints (md and lg) as specified, and it works because responsive classes come after non-responsive classes.
