I need to make changes to an element with a particular class name. The element cannot be found in the code of the webpage I am working on. However, it appears on the page. When I try to make style changes using internal css, it works but I cannot accomplish what I am trying to accomplish with css alone. So, when I try to make changes to that class using jquery css, I am unable to modify the element. Any idea as to why the inline css works but the jquery css does not work?

My CSS Code (this works):

.jqZoomWindow{
    border:2px solid red;
}

JQuery Code

$(".jqZoomWindow").css("border","2px solid red");

    This sounds like a CSS specificity problem.

    Inline rules created with .css(..) will always take priority over stylesheet rules.

    Do you have some other CSS style affecting the border that’s more specific than .jqZoomWindow ?
