Question

I would like to do this:

<div style="float: left;
            width: 59px;
            background: transparent url('http://download.com/47.jpg') no-repeat scroll -132px -1px;"
     class="cIconSmall">
</div>

and I’m thinking I should use this:

$("#YourElementID").css({
    float: "left",
    width: "59px",
    background: "transparent url('http://download.com/47.jpg') no-repeat scroll -132px -1px"
});

Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

You’re thinking correctly. Using the css(map) method is the way to go.

$(".cIconSmall").css({
    float: "left", 
    width: "59px", 
    background: "transparent url('http://download.com/47.jpg') no-repeat scroll -132px -1px" 
});

A map of property-value pairs to set.

Might be nicer as a css class, though… then you can just write $(".cIconSmall").addClass("icon47"); but there’s a time for everything…
