jQuery CSS: Altering Values Within the Tag</strong></p> <p>In an HTML document, styling elements such as the body can be altered directly in the <style> tag. However, using jQuery to modify these values may result in applying styles to individual elements rather than the <style> tag itself.</p> <p>To achieve the desired goal of modifying a specific style value within the <style> tag, a workaround is necessary:</p> <p>Rather than manipulating an existing style rule, we can create a new one that overrides the previous value:</p> <div class="code" style="position:relative; padding:0px; margin:0px;"><pre>$( "<style>body { background-color: black; }" ).appendTo( "head" )Copy after login This code creates a new element and appends it to the <head> section of the HTML document. Within the newly created style, we specify the background color for the body element, effectively overriding any existing value in the inline style attribute.</p> <p>By utilizing the principle of cascading, the new style rule will take precedence over previous styles, ensuring the desired background color change.</p>
