问题:

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

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

Example:

/* this specificity value is 100 + 10 + 1 = 111 */
#hello .class h2 { }

With this HTML:

<div class="selectform">
<input type="text" value="inter text">
<input type="text" value="inter text" class="inputag">
</div>

Which of these 2 selectors is more specific?

.selectform input[type="text"] { }
.selectform .inputbg { }

Attribute selectors are equally specific to class selectors.

In your example, the first selector is more specific because there is an additional type selector input that causes it to beat the second selector.

The specificity of each selector is calculated as follows:

/* 1 class, 1 attribute, 1 type -> specificity = 0-2-1 */
.selectform input[type="text"] { }

/* 2 classes                    -> specificity = 0-2-0 */
.selectform .inputbg { }

In general, all types of selectors are the same; what matters is the number of selectors in the expression. So ID = 1, class = 1, and HTML tag = 1.

In the event that two selectors have the same specificity, the one that is further down in the CSS file "wins". So make sure you order your CSS references from the general to the specific; libraries like jquery-ui.css go first, while your CSS files go after those.
