Question

I’m trying to use if and else in a jQuery Function based in the backgroundColor of a li tag, for exemple: If this backgroundColor = #ccc do something, else, do other. I tried like this:

if ($(this).css('backgroundColor = #EBE5C5')) {

but it doesnt work right, can you help me?

Hmm,thanks a lot, but it still not working right, see the full function right here:

$(function(){
$('.slider-nav li')
    .mouseover(function(){
        if ($(this).css('background-color') == "#EBE5C5") { 
            $(this).stop().animate({'backgroundColor':'#c0ba9f'},250);
        }
    })
    .mouseout(function(){
        $(this).stop().animate({'backgroundColor':'#EBE5C5'},250);
    })
});

Should be something like this:

if ($(this).css('background-color') == 'red') {
   // do somethig
} else {
   // do something else
}

Remember that one equals sign is assignment.
