[jQuery] Re: getting the (computed) background-color

[Fil]

I'am not sure, but this one may be faster:

// get the background color
var current_p = $(this);
var bg = "transparent";
while(bg == "transparent") {
        bg = current_p.parent().css('background-color');
        current_p = current_p.parent();
}

you have a parent() too many ;-)

anyway this will fail if everything is transparent: you'll hit the
document as $('html').parent() and get a js error when doing .css() on
it.
