hello!
i first posted this in the mailing list but no replies tells me my answer is
no, so this becomes a "feature request"
imagine i style the :hover pseudo-class of an element via css:
.myitem{
background-color:green;
}
.myitem:hover{
background-color:red
}
Is it possible to retrieve the background-color property of the
elemnent's :hover class via jquery?
i tried the obvious : http://jsbin.com/idudi/edit
$(function(){
var temp = $('#myitem:hover').css('background-color');
alert("color is "+temp);
});
But that didn't work. It returns the default state.
the reason i'm asking this feature, is because semantically/structurally,
the best place to store a css property is obviously in the CSS, not in some
sort of metadata.
It occurred me while doing an interaction prototype for my school website :
http://pixeline.be/test/heaj/colormap/colorfade.html
each link has its background color fade to a custom color. I could only
store it as metadata or custom attribute, i wish i could have just retrieved
it from the css.
thank you for listening !
Alexandre
