Изменение CSS с помощью jQuery
// Modifying CSS properties with jQuery is even simpler.
$('#element').css('margin', '5px');
// If you need to change more than one style rule:
$('#element').css({
margin: "5px",
padding: "10px",
color: "black"
});
// jQuery includes two ways to change css rules
// that have hyphens in them (i.e. font-size ).
// You can put them in quotes or camel-case the style rule name.
$('.example-class').css({
"background-color": "blue",
fontSize: "10px"
});
