title: CSS Method
 |

---
 | 
						|
## CSS Method
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The jQuery `.css()` method gets the value of a computed style property for the first element in the set of matched elements or set one or more CSS properties for every matched element.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Getting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To return the value of a specified CSS property, use the following syntax:
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $(selector).css(propertyName);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For eg: 
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $('#element').css('background');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Note: Here we can use any css selector eg: element(HTML Tag selector), .element(Class Selector), #element(ID selector).
 | 
						|
### Setting 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To set a specified CSS property, use the following syntax:
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $(selector).css(propertyName,value);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For eg:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $('#element').css('background','red');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To set multiple CSS properties, you'll have to use the object literal syntax like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $('#element').css({
 | 
						|
        'background': 'gray',
 | 
						|
        'color': 'white'
 | 
						|
    });
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to change a property labeled with more than one word, refer to this example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To change `background-color` of an element
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
    $('#element').css('background-color', 'gray');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
