Question

I am creating my jQuery element like this:

 var addLink = $("<a/>",
        {
            click: function () { }, 
            css:{}
        });

How can I apply css to change the color of the text?

UPDATE 1:

I can do the following but looking for a self contained model.

 var addLink = $("<a/>",
        {
            click: function () { }
        }).css("color","blue");

Answer 1

var addLink = $("<a/>", {
                  click: function () { }, 
                  css: { color: 'red' },
                  text: "anchorText"   
              });

You can specify any style you want to set as key/value pair in the object.
