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

After reading other answers and experimenting, this is what works for me:

$(".selector")[0].style.setProperty( 'style', 'value', 'important' );

This doesn't work in IE 8 and under, though.
