jQuery changing css class to div

Question

If I have one div element for example and class \'first\' is defined with many css properties. Can I assign css class \'second\' which also has many properties differently

Answer 1

An HTML element like div can have more than one classes. Let say div is assigned two styles using addClass method. If style1 has 3 properties like font-size, weight and color, and style2 has 4 properties like font-size, weight, color and background-color, the resultant effective properties set (style), i think, will have 4 properties i.e. union of all style sets. Common properties, in our case, color,font-size, weight, will have one occuerance with latest values. If div is assigned style1 first and style2 second, the common prpoerties will be overwritten by style2 values.

Further, I have written a post at Using JQuery to Apply,Remove and Manage Styles, I hope it will help you
