    CSS inherit value examples

    on Mar 7, 2016

    CSS inherit value is used to set a css property value to its parent element value. It can be used during debugging (e.g. In Chrome developer tools) or to set a property in third party libraries.

    Here is sample code using css inherit

    <style type="text/css">
    h2 {color: blue;}
    .box > h2 {color:inherit;}
    </style>
    
    <h2>h2 text</h2>
    <div class="box">
      <h2>h2 text with color inherit</h2>
    </div>
    refresh done
    try it online
