jquery beginner: change background on click
- by user1873217
I'm trying to change the background of an element on click based on the current color.
Here's the relevant html:
<div id="rect" style="height: 100px; width:300px; background: red">
</div>
and my jquery attempt:
$("#rect").click(function() {
if ($(this).css('background') == 'red') {
$(this).css('background','blue');}
else {$(this).css('background','yellow');}
});
I'm always getting a yellow box; the 'true' condition never fires.
What am I doing wrong?
