Can I use jquery to remove/negate css !important rule?

Question

If there is a CSS rule that uses !important, is there a way to remove the !important rule so that I can make further downstream style changes with

Answer 1

I have tried several methods, but the best results I've obtained by adding the CSS style (!important) in a separate class, then remove with jQuery:

CSS:

.important-css-here { display: block !important;}

In jQuery:

$("#selector").addClass("important-css-here");

then, when I need:

$("#selector").removeClass("important-css-here");

work like a charm ;-)
