Question

Padding or margin value in pixels as integer using jQuery
after reading the above Answers . One of the user exaplained these

 alert($("a").css("margin-top"));

Now I wanted to do these

 alert($("#cool").css("margin-top")); ' #cool is my table id <table id="cool">

but it did not work. How do i get the css properties of a tag by specifying its id ?

Seems like you didn’t put your code inside a pageLoad event :

$(function(){ 
   alert($("#cool").css("margin-top"))
})

Or you forgot to integrate jQuery.js into your page.
