What is the use of css() method in jQuery ?

Last Updated : 06 Sep, 2021

In this article, we will see how to use css() method to set the styles on elements dynamically using jQuery. The css() method is used to change the style property of the selected element.

Syntax:

$(selector).css(property)

Approach: Here, we have added a paragraph element and a button and after clicking on the button, the css() method is called and this method apples the CSS styles on the paragraph element.

Example:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>

    </script>
  
    <style>
        body {
            text-align: center;
        }
          
        button {
            background-color: green;
            color: white;
            font-size: 24px;
            border-radius: 5px;
            padding: 15px 32px;
            text-align: center;
            text-decoration: none;
        }
    </style>
  
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("button").click(function() {
                $("#GFG").css({
                    color: "white",
                    background: "green",
                    fontSize: "25px",
                    display: "table",
                    margin: "0px auto 0px auto"
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
