Can jQuery change css style definition? (not individual css of each element)

Question

I haven\'t seen any docs saying jQuery can change any CSS definition such as changing

td { padding: 0.2em 1.2em }

to

td {          


        

Answer 1

I ran into a problem where I didn't know the width I wanted a class until it was loaded and did this.

Note: it may matter where you put the script (prepend, append) depending on how you want the rules to 'cascade'.
