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 do this:

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

Using "cssText" as the property name and whatever you want added to the CSS as its value.
