Question

i am using

$('<div/>').attr('font-weight','bold');

It is not applying font-weight to bold with above function. Is there something wrong in there?

Answer 1

Yea, something’s wrong, the $() function is used to select an element, class or id, not a mal-formed tag. Also, you should use the css() function to change css properties so you need something like this:

$("#mydiv").css('font-weight', 'bold');

If you want to select all divs, you can do this:

$("div").css('font-weight', 'bold');
