Not sure about expected behavior, but the CSS version certainly seems more correct to me. It could be shortened to:
$(".pics").css({borderStyle:"solid", borderWidth:"1px", borderColor:"white"}); Or really, in that specific case: $(".pics").css("border", "1px solid white"); If you find yourself adding (and especially removing) specific styling a lot, you might be better off to make a class and style the class: .whiteBorder { border: 1px solid white; } $(".pics").addClass("whiteBorder"); Also, when using class based selectors, it performs better to specify a tag too. Like: $("div.pics")... Or maybe this was just a trivial example to illustrate an inconsistency, in which case, ignore me. Either way, file a bug report for it so it doesn't get lost. Inconsistent behavior is no good, but .attr('style', ...) is certainly best to avoid. I think that's the whole point of .css(...). --Erik On 5/9/07, Bil Corry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In IE7, this doesn't work on an <img> element (and possibly others, didn't test it): $(".pics").attr("style","border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: white;"); But this does work for IE7: $(".pics").css("border-style","solid").css("border-width","1px").css("border-color","white"); Both work in FF2. Is that the expected behavior in IE7? I have an example written up both ways to illustrate. Select one of the small images, its border should change to white: You can see the working version here: <http://www.corry.biz/phototest/> And the non-working version here (requires IE7): <http://www.corry.biz/phototest/phototest2.lasso> - Bil
