add css rule using jquery

Question

i got a css rule like this:

#imgwrapper {display: block;position: relative;width:auto;height:auto;}

so i got a hyperlink that when it's clicked, it should add a css rule to #imgwrapper like this:

#imgtarget, #imgwrapper img {cursor:crosshair;}

how should i do it??

i tried jquery .css() api but it aint working..

Please post an example of the code you have that isn't working. — entropo

hi everyone, the reply from David Fells works.. earlier i did it wrongly by doing it this way: $('#imgtarget').css('cursor:crosshair'); — chrizonline

See the $.css() function

$('a.whatever').click(function() {
  $('#imgtarget').css('cursor' , 'crosshair');
  $('#imgwrapper img').css('cursor', 'crosshair');
});

hey david, i found the solution. sorry my bad.. what i did is to set the value to ''.. so ie: $('#imgtarget').css('cursor' , ''); $('#imgwrapper img').css('cursor', '');
