Override CSS media queries

Question

I work with a page every day that uses CSS media queries I don\'t like; I\'d rather use the full page (most of them are related to the Twitter Bootstrap menu collapsing when

Why wouldn't you remove them in the first place?

If you can't, you still can override a CSS declaration with rules:

• that have the same selector priority and come after the MQ block
• that have higher selector priority than the rule in the MQ block
• that have !important between the value and the semi-colon

    /* one id, one class AND one element => higher priority */
    #id element.class { property: value2; }

    /* !important will nuke priorities. Same side effects as a nuke,
       don't do that at home except if you've tried other methods */
    #id .class { property: value2 !important; }

    @media(blah) {
      /* Overridden. Thrice. */
      #id .class { property: value1; }
    }

    /* same selector, same everything except it comes after the one in @media?
       Then the latter is applied.
       Being in a @media doesn't give any more priority (but it won't be applied
       everywhere, depending on "blah", that's the point of MQ) */
    #id .class { property: value2; }

In the previous example, any of the declaration outside the @media block will override the one inside, e.g. there are 3 reasons why value2 will be applied and not value1.
