Question

I feel silly asking this because I should know it but I’m in a hurry and I also can’t for the life of my think of the right term to put into Google to get the answer I’m looking for.

Basically using javascript/jquery I need to say “add varName’s value to the existing css property of left:200px;” using the the .css in jQuery.

Answer 1

Go through this

http://api.jquery.com/css/

//This will set or overwrite the left style property of element 
//selected by elementSelector
$("elementSelector").css("left", varName);

Alternatively css method takes a map if you want to set multiple properties at once.

$("elementSelector").css( { left: varName });
