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

If it is not so relevant and since you're dealing with one element which is #elem, you can change its id to something else and style it as you wish...

$('#elem').attr('id', 'cheaterId');

And in your CSS:

#cheaterId { width: 100px;}
