What is the specificity of the attribute selector?

Question

I\'m wondering what the specificity of the attribute selector is. For example:

• Id = 100 points
• Class = 10 points
• Html Tag= 1 point

Answer 1

As someone said earlier in this post "attribute selectors have the same specificity as classes"...i find that not to be true from my experiences... i have used a class name after say an input[type="text"] and it would not override the previous CSS. It's counter-intuitive since input[type="text"] sounds quite broad . You have to use an ID to override which if you are doing inputs for forms you should have an ID on there anyways to properly connect labels.
