my jQuery.css does not work

Question

I am using

$('div:first', $('#' + id)).css({ 'color': 'red' })

to change the color of my div, but it does not work in my page.Then when I get the color by code

$('div:first', $('#' + id)).css('color')

,it is red! Who can tell me what happened?

I got the right answer about my problem, but it is deleted by someone. I paste it here and hope it can help others.

$('div:first', '[id="' + id + '"]').css({'color': 'red' });

And I will be very thankful if someone can tell me the difference between my code and the answer!

$('div:first', $('#' + id)).css( 'color', 'red', 'important' ); — user2007801

Can you explain why this is different than just passing JSON data to $.css?

Try to replace them with

$('div:first', $('#' + id)).css( 'color', 'red' );
