Zach, !important tag would've worked if I wanted to make my stylesheet take precedence over the other, however I don't need to do that since whatever I override will be the one reflected in the final results. I'm not sure if you know Rails Desert gem which does all that for me, all I need to do is override the stylesheet from the source plugin (CommunityEngine).
I need to completely invalidate the properties that come from the third party (CommunityEngine) for my buttons so that they show as HTML form buttons and not flat with background i.e. blue and with borders. I haven't found a way to do that, is it even possible? I can't simply delete the property in the third party plugin I'm using. Please help!
