How to work : document.getElementById("ElementName").style="display:block!important"

Question

I have used:

document.getElementById("ElementName").style.display = 'block';

This is working. Now I would like to display the "ElementName" field on a button click. But this was not working:

document.getElementById("ElementName").style="display:block!important"

What does your code have to do with *" Now I would like to display the "ElementName" field on a button click."*? — dfsq, Nov 10 '14 at 13:45

You can use this,

document.getElementById("challenges").style.cssText += "display : block !important"

Try this

document.getElementById("ElementName").style.display = "block !important"

//or 

document.getElementById("ElementName").style.display = "hide !important"

What about this way... (if you really want to do) ?

Try to add given class :

var el = document.getElementById('ElementName');
el.className = el.className + ' block-important';

and add this in your CSS file :

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

But @torazaburo's answer says about using of important is correct
