jQuery can be a wizard at managing your CSS, but as with any powerful magic, it must be handled with care and consideration or you’ll end up with a giant mess!
There may be instances where modifying specific CSS properties with jQuery makes sense, but as a best practice, it’s best to maintain an organized CSS file and use jQuery to manipulate clearly defined and well-named CSS classes.
In this lesson, you learned:
- The
.css()
method can change style properties of an element. - The
.css()
method can accept multiple styles at once if you pass it a JavaScript object as its argument. - The
.animate()
method can change specific style properties over a period of time. - The
.addClass()
will add a CSS class to an element, and the.removeClass()
method will remove a CSS class. - The
.toggleClass()
method will toggle a class on or off an element.
Incredible work! In the next lesson, you’ll learn about logical selectors. This will enable to you add a click event to one element, and make something happen elsewhere on the page.
