I'd like to know what type of method should I use to get the value of CSS style. I want to set it to jQuery so that I can create conditions to match on CSS "left" value.
Here is the CSS and HTML tag with the style attributes.
<div class="items" style="left: -900px"> <span>some content here</span> </div>
Here is my jQuery code to get the value.
<script>
var n = $("items").css("left");
if(n == -900){
$(".items span").fadeOut("slow");
}
</script>
I'd like to know if this method is correct because it is not working in my end. Thanks in advance for the little help.
Note: left value was dynamic, and it was changing to these value: -900px, -1800px, -2700px, -3600px, -4500px...
I doubt css understands left by itself. You need to use it specifying position. You are using .css() correctly
position: relative/absolute/whatever;
left: 900px;
heres a fiddle of it working
and without the position here's what you get
Change your if statement to be like this - with quotes around -900px
var n = $("items").css("left");
if(n == '-900px'){
$(".items span").fadeOut("slow");
}
Yes, you're right. With the css() method you can retrieve the desired css value stored in the DOM. You can read more about this at: http://api.jquery.com/css/
But if you want to get its position you can check offset() and position() methods to get it's position.
You code is correct. replace items with .items as below
<script>
var n = $(".items").css("left");
if(n == -900){
$(".items span").fadeOut("slow");
}
</script>
