Point one style class to another?

Question

I have a css class like:

.foo {
  background-color: red;
}

then I have a class specified for a list:

.list1 li {
  background-c         


        

Answer 1

The above solutions aren't available if you don't have control over how 'foo' was defined.

So, if a JQuery solution is acceptable, just apply the original class to all instances of the new class/context. In this case:

$('.list li').addClass('foo')
