Changing CSS style using jquery

Question

I'm trying to modify the width of a div. What am I doing wrong?

$('#foo')

[<div class=​"bar" id=​"foo" style=​"width:​ 40%">​</div>​]

$('#foo').css('style','width:50%')

[<div class=​"bar" id=​"foo" style=​"width:​ 40%">​</div>​]

Answer 1

I think it should be

$('#foo').css('width','50%')
