(This is using content scripts in a chrome extension)
I need to overwrite some css properties that the webpage has labeled as !important
. Is this possible?
For instance, if I want to get rid of the border that is labeled important:
$(".someclass").css('border','none'); //does not work
Here you go:
$( '.someclass' ).each(function () {
this.style.setProperty( 'border', 'none', 'important' );
});

The .setProperty
method of an element's style
object enables you to pass a third argument which represents the priority. So, you're overriding an !important value with your own !important value. As far as I know, it is not possible to set the !important priority with jQuery, so your only option is the built-in .setProperty
method.
