jQuery’s css() method is used to set or read the css attributes of HTML elements.
The CSS syntax for reading elements is as follows:
css("propertyname");
For example, the following code gets the background color of the first
element.
[javascript]
$("p").css("background-color");
$("p").css("background-color");
Use the following Syntax to set CSS properties of HTML elements:
css("propertyname", "value");
For example, the following code sets the background color to yellow for all
elements.
[html] <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>JQuery Demo</title> <script src="scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("button").click(function () { $("p").css("background-color", "yellow"); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <p style="background-color: #ff0000">This is a paragraph.</p> <p style="background-color: #00ff00">This is a paragraph.</p> <p style="background-color: #0000ff">This is a paragraph.</p> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <button>Set background-color of p</button> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>JQuery Demo</title> <script src="scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("button").click(function () { $("p").css("background-color", "yellow"); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <p style="background-color: #ff0000">This is a paragraph.</p> <p style="background-color: #00ff00">This is a paragraph.</p> <p style="background-color: #0000ff">This is a paragraph.</p> <p>This is a paragraph.</p>www.2cto.com <button>Set background-color of p</button> </body> </html>
css() also supports multiple CSS properties at the same time: its syntax is as follows:
css({"propertyname":"value","propertyname":"value",…});
For example:
[javascript] view plaincopyprint?
$("p").css({"background-color":"yellow","font-size":"200%"});
$(" p").css({"background-color":"yellow","font-size":"200%"});
