IE does not support the CSS class :active but FireFox does. I use this to change the background color on a div to give feedback similar to a button click.
For IE users I attach the mousedown and mouseup events to a function that simply does the same thing. However, if I ever change the color in my CSS class I have to remember to change the jQuery function to match. Can I have jQuery find this background color attribute in the css class in the style sheet? If so, I could just change it once in the CSS style sheet and jQuery would use the latest value. I haven't seen any examples on obtaining values from a style sheet so I thought I'd ask if it was even possible. Thanks, Matt Penner
