Matthew,
.css() doesn't return a class Name. In your example it might return
the background image url. Here's an example console dump from a banner
of a site I work on:
>>> var foo = $("#banner").css('background-image');
>>> foo
"url(http://www.mysite.com/img/homebanner.jpg)"
You can try something like this:
var className = $(this).attr('class')
and then use addClass, but that is assuming the matched element(s) has
a class. I can see circumstances where that will return more than one
class or could result in unexpected results.
I don't know if there is a way to iterate over each of a jQuery
objects CSS properties. If there is you could conceivably read each
then set the css attribute of the target div.
