More Details for all
all
The all
shorthand CSS property resets all of an element's properties except unicode-bidi
, direction
, and CSS Custom Properties. It can set properties to their initial or inherited values, or to the values specified in another stylesheet origin.
Syntax
/* Global values */ all: initial; all: inherit; all: revert; all: unset;
The all
property is specified as one of the CSS global keyword values. Note that none of these values affect the unicode-bidi
and direction
properties.
Values
initial
Specifies that all the element's properties should be changed to their initial values.
inherit
Specifies that all the element's properties should be changed to their inherited values.
unset
Specifies that all the element's properties should be changed to their inherited values if they inherit by default, or to their initial values if not.
revert
Specifies behavior that depends on the stylesheet origin to which the declaration belongs:
User-agent originEquivalent to unset
.
Rolls back the cascade to the user-agent level, so that the specified values are calculated as if no author-level or user-level rules were specified for the element.
Author originRolls back the cascade to the user level, so that the specified values are calculated as if no author-level rules were specified for the element. For purposes of revert
, the Author origin includes the Override and Animation origins.

Examples
HTML
<blockquote id="quote"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. </blockquote> Phasellus eget velit sagittis.
CSS
body { font-size: small; background-color: #F0F0F0; color: blue; margin: 0; padding: 0; } blockquote { background-color: skyblue; color: red; }
Result
Noall
property The <blockquote>
uses the browser's default styling which gives it a margin, together with a specific background and text color. It also behaves as a block element: the text that follows it is beneath it.
all:unset
The <blockquote>
doesn't use the browser default styling: it is an inline element now (initial value), its background-color
is transparent
(initial value), but its font-size
is still small
(inherited value) and its color
is blue
(inherited value).
all:initial
The <blockquote>
doesn't use the browser default styling: it is an inline element now (initial value), its background-color
is transparent
(initial value), its font-size
is normal
(initial value) and its color
is black
(initial value).
all:inherit
The <blockquote>
doesn't use the browser default styling: it is a block element now (inherited value from its containing <body>
element), its background-color
is #F0F0F0
(inherited value), its font-size
is small
(inherited value) and its color
is blue
(inherited value).
