Something called element.style is overriding my time-float.

My time-float is not displaying. When I inspect the element, I see that it is being blocked by display being set to "none" in something called element.style. How can I override this?

Some browsers use that to identify styles that are directly applied to an element through something like some javascript. Trying adding important to your deceleration or being more specific ( i.e. using body .container div.myclass instead of just using dv.myclass )

I don't know how to "add important" to my declaration. I am currently using ".mejs-container .mejs-controls .mejs-time-rail .mejs-time-total .mejs-time-float". Is it possible to be more specific than that?
