How to add !important in position:absolute using jQuery.css() function?

Question

I know this is very silly question but I am stuck . I have been trying to add the position:absolute !important using JQUERY function .CSS() but I found out that it is not happening .

my script is something like this .

$(document).ready(function(){
    var winSize = $('#outerPage').height();
    alert(winSize);
     setTimeout(function () {
    //$('#at4m-mobile-container').addClass('bottom');
    $('body div.at4m-dock').css("top",winSize);
    $('body div.at4m-dock').css({"position":"absolute","font-size":"200% !important"});
    $('body div.at4m-dock-toggle').css("top",winSize);
    }, 7500);  

});

Please give me some suggestion

Thanks and regards

jQuery is not understanding the !important attribute.

You can use attr()

Try:

 $('body div.at4m-dock').attr('style', 'font-size: 200% !important;position:absolute !important;');

Use as, as per my understanding you can not use as "font-size":"200% !important" in %

  $('body div.at4m-dock').css({"position":"absolute!important","font-size":"22px !important"});

@DownVoter please provide reason – Amit Jul 07 '14 at 13:23
I am not the DownVoter but this will not work. jQuery can not understand !important as a rule. Check it here: http://jsfiddle.net/7j5Jc/1/ – laaposto Jul 07 '14 at 13:32

!important is not supported by jQuery.

Also .css() function add inline style so you don't need !important. So you should simply remove it.
