A js plugin is adding a style that is giving me some headache:
element.style {
z-index: 100 !important;
}
So i have tried this:
html body div#shell div#shellContent div#bottomPart div#rightCol div.containerBox
div#embedContainer div#janrainEngageEmbed div.janrainContent div#janrainView
div.janrainHeader[style] {
z-index: 1 !important;
}
and still nothing.
Contrary to the other answers, it is possible to override inline styles with CSS:

I would guess that the extremely long selector might not be hitting the element.
I had a similar z-index issue with the Janrain plugin that was solved by this:
#janrainEngageEmbed > div[style] {
z-index: 0;
}
In your case, you probably need:
z-index: 0 !important;
The inline style will trump any selectors. Either reset the style yourself in javascript or patch the plugin... it doesn't sound like a particularly well written anyway, to be honest. : )
inline style always override external and internal css, plus the fact that the plugin is using the !important
clause (very bad practice!), all together makes it impossible to get it fixed with css only. I reckon you will have to use some custom js to override the plugin settings.
maybe the best way would be to check if you can specify a callback function with the plugin and set the style as you wanted. another answer here suggested to edit the plugin itself, that is cool if you don't plan to ever update it - otherwise you're better off leaving the plugin code as it is, and just adding some bespoke js of your own
