How can I add !important css attribute with jQuery?

Question

How can I add !important css attribute with jQuery to after the "border-left-color",'#'+hex ?

$(document).ready(function($){
           $('.gkColorPicker').colpick({
           layout:'full',
           colorScheme:'light',
           onChange:function(hsb,hex,rgb,fromSetColor) {
           if(!fromSetColor) $('.gkColorPicker').val(hex).css("border-left-color",'#'+hex);
           },
           onSubmit:function(hsb,hex,rgb,el) {
          $('.gkColorPicker').colpickHide();
          }
         });
          $('.gkColorPicker').keyup(function(){
         $(this).colpickSetColor(this.value);
   });
});

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

If the answer is to use `!important`, you're asking the wrong question. — j08691, Oct 29 '13 at 19:16
You shouldn't need to add `!important` since `.css` adds inline styles which have the highest specificity already. Unless you are trying to override another rule already using `!important`, which gives you a good reason why you shouldn't have used it to begin with. — James Montagne, Oct 29 '13 at 19:18

sorry for my mistake,but u try add css for value! i didnt see that and i've copied that. For what u want use !important? Properties that added line-style have higher priority than css styles in file. – BordiArt Oct 29 '13 at 19:27
@minitech well, apparently I haven't, given that the score's saying i'm wrong :-) – John Dvorak Oct 29 '13 at 19:28
@JanDvorak Yeah, it doesn't work. – James Montagne Oct 29 '13 at 19:33
