Hi, I used jQuery 1.3.2 and Firefox for the following html
<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .content .division .category.selected { background: red; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="categories"> <div class="content"> <div class="body"> <ul id="category-list"> <li class="division"> <ul> <li class="category selected"> <div class="title"> <a href="/suv" class="category- suv">SUVs (6)</a> </div> </li> <li class="category category_69564"> <div class="title"> <a href="/4by4" class="category- general">4x4 (6)</a> </div> </li> <li class="category category_73293"> <div class="title"> <a href="/hybrid" class="category-hybrid">Hybrid</a> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> I used the following css command to get back the background color: $("#category-list > li.division:eq(0) ul > li:eq(0) a").css ("background-color"); but it always returned the value "transparent" instead of the "red" color rgb(255,0,0). I also tried "backgroundColor" and it did not work either ("transparent"). How to get back the correct background color? Thanks in advance, John
