Thanks for the information -- I would never have considered looking at FF for the bug.

Actually "background" is the "shorthand" property, "backgroundPostion" is the "fully qualified" property. There is/was a bug in Firefox: Bug 316981 – background-position property is not available through the CSS DOM interface https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316981 Karl Rudd On Nov 28, 2007 9:25 AM, Richard D.

That must be a bug. You can set the background position... $('.XXX').css('backgroundPosition', '0 50%'); and then get it ... $('.XXX').css('backgroundPosition'); // returns "0pt 50%" but you can't get it without setting first.

Other variants like "background-color" work fine. ~ ~ David
