Why is my CSS class being overwritten/ignored?

Question

I know that id takes precedence over class; unfortunately my html is generated by Drupal and there\'s no way for me to add an id to the particular div that needs styling.

Answer 1

It's a shame that you're being forced to solve the problem in a hacky way...

#home-blocks-aread .block div.content { background: none; }

would do the job.
