How to apply !important using .css()?

Question

I am having trouble applying a style that is !important. I’ve tried:

$(\"#elem\").css(\"width\", \"100px          


        

Answer 1

You can set the width directly using .width() like this:

$("#elem").width(100);

Updated for comments: You have this option as well, but it'll replace all css on the element, so not sure it's any more viable:

$('#elem').css('cssText', 'width: 100px !important');
