The jQuery library supports nearly all of the selectors included in
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) specifications 1 through 3, as outlined on
the World Wide Web Consortium's site.
Using JQuery library developers can enhance their websites without worrying about browsers and their versions as long as the browsers have JavaScript enabled.
Most of the JQuery CSS Methods do not modify the content of the jQuery object and they are used to apply CSS properties on DOM elements.
Here is the syntax for the method −

Most of the JQuery CSS Methods do not modify the content of the jQuery object and they are used to apply CSS properties on DOM elements.
Apply CSS Properties
This is very simple to apply any CSS property using JQuery method css( PropertyName, PropertyValue ).Here is the syntax for the method −
selector.css( PropertyName, PropertyValue );Here you can pass PropertyName as a javascript string and based on its value, PropertyValue could be string or integer.
Example
Following is an example which adds font color to the second list item.<html> <head> <title>The jQuery Example</title> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type = "text/javascript" language = "javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("li").eq(2).css("color", "red"); }); </script> </head> <body> <div> <ul> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> <li>list item 3</li> <li>list item 4</li> <li>list item 5</li> <li>list item 6</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>This will produce following result −
Apply Multiple CSS Properties
You can apply multiple CSS properties using a single JQuery method CSS( {key1:val1, key2:val2....). You can apply as many properties as you like in a single call.Here is the syntax for the method −
selector.css( {key1:val1, key2:val2....keyN:valN})
Here you can pass key as property and val as its value as described above.Example
Following is an example which adds font color as well as background color to the second list item.<html> <head> <title>The jQuery Example</title> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type = "text/javascript" language = "javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("li").eq(2).css({"color":"red", "background-color":"green"}); }); </script> </head> <body> <div> <ul> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> <li>list item 3</li> <li>list item 4</li> <li>list item 5</li> <li>list item 6</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>This will produce following result −
Setting Element Width & Height
The width( val ) and height( val ) method can be used to set the width and height respectively of any element.Example
Following is a simple example which sets the width of first division element where as rest of the elements have width set by style sheet<html> <head> <title>The jQuery Example</title> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type = "text/javascript" language = "javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("div:first").width(100); $("div:first").css("background-color", "blue"); }); </script> <style> div{ width:70px; height:50px; float:left; margin:5px; background:red; cursor:pointer; } </style> </head> <body> <div></div> <div>d</div> <div>d</div> <div>d</div> <div>d</div> </body> </html>This will produce following result −
