How to set style as important from within GWT code?

Question

I've the following style that I need to set at run-time from within GWT code:

margin: 0 0 0 -6px !important;

I've tried the following which didn't work:

Style style = htmlProductSearch.getElement().getStyle();
style.setProperty("margin", "0 0 0 -6px !important");

However, when I removed the !important from the string, it works.. but I urgently need to make this style important.

Also I've used the setters methods setMarginxxxx but didn't work too.

Thanks.

Answer 1

htmlProductSearch.getElement().setAttribute("style","margin : 0 0 0 -6px !important");
Hope this should work.

Answer 2

Not a perfect solution but you can use the addStyleName to add a css style.

In this css style you can use the !important.

This will work I think
