How to modify STYLE attribute of element with known ID using JQuery

Question

I got 3 buttons-links triggering some javascript code, with indication if certain button is selected, selected button got style attribute set to

\"btn brown selecte

Answer 1

Not sure I completely understand the question but:

$(":button.brown").click(function() {
  $(":button.brown.selected").removeClass("selected");
  $(this).addClass("selected");
});

seems to be along the lines of what you want.

I would certainly recommend using classes instead of directly setting CSS, which is problematic for several reasons (eg removing styles is non-trivial, removing classes is easy) but if you do want to go that way:

$("...").css("background", "brown");

But when you want to reverse that change, what do you set it to?
