I don't think jQuery is designed to get an attribute from a class.
The code you wrote
<div class="myclass" />
...
var color = $(".myclass").css("background-color");
works by pulling the background color from the DOM object. A
different hack that would work in one line:
$('<div></div>').addClass('myclass').css('background-color');
That would create a div, add a class to it, and fetch the background
color.
