How to apply !important using .css()?

Question

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

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

Three working examples

I had a similar situation, but I used .find() after struggling with .closest() for a long time with many variations.

The Example Code

// Allows contain functions to work, ignores case sensitivity

jQuery.expr[':'].contains = function(obj, index, meta, stack) {
    result = false;
    theList = meta[3].split("','");
    var contents = (obj.textContent || obj.innerText || jQuery(obj).text() || '')
    for (x=0; x= 0) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
};

$(document).ready(function() {
    var refreshId = setInterval( function() {
        $("#out:contains('foo', 'test456')").find(".inner").css('width', '50px', 'important');
    }, 1000); // Rescans every 1000 ms
});

Alternative

$('.inner').each(function () {
    this.style.setProperty('height', '50px', 'important');
});

$('#out').find('.inner').css({ 'height': '50px'});
