I tried the following code:

$("#maintenanceRequest").css({"backgroundColor": "black"});

But the following error appears:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).css is not a function
    at <anonymous>:1:26

What am I doing wrong? Thank you

javascript jquery

  • Bruna, the problem may be in another part of the code. The way to change the CSS of the element is correct and should work.

  • jQuery is on the page? , is it available at the time you execute this code? , I ask these questions because even though Query had not found the selector the function .css would still be available.

From what I see, you are trying to implement css in a jquery, which is not necessary and I advise you to use a separate project style sheet for better organization of your code.

Possible solutions:

If adhere to using a stylesheet, it would be like this:

#maintenanceRequest{
   background-color: black;
}

or if you want to style only in content (a <div> for example) just use the tag <style> that would look like EX.:

<div style="background-color: black;"></div>

NOTE: be more specific when detailing your question/problem because as you posted it is difficult to identify where exactly is the problem, I suggest edit your question, I answered because the problem is simple and did not need to be something so specific.

I hope I may have helped in some way :)

  • The problem is if the purpose is to change the CSS dynamically, which is very common.

  • truth so I asked her to edit the question, and say clearly, what she really wants to do
