jQuery.css() - marginLeft vs. margin-left?

Question

With jQuery.css() I\'ve been told I can use the following two functions for the same results:

$(\".element\").css(\"marginLeft\") = \"200px\";

$(\".element\         


        

Answer 1

jQuery is simply supporting the way CSS is written.

Also, it ensures that no matter how a browser returns a value, it will be understood

jQuery can equally interpret the CSS and DOM formatting of multiple-word properties. For example, jQuery understands and returns the correct value for both .css('background-color') and .css('backgroundColor').
