Jquery: How to find if element has inline property (not in CSS)

Question

I have a tag such as:

<div class="menu" style="display:relative;">

..and I am trying to check with:

if ($('.menu').css('display','relative'))

.. the CSS for .menu has display:fixed; so it's ignoring the inline style and returning negative for if.

What's the best way to check the active style attribute on an element regardless if in CSS or inline?

Thanks.

Answer 1

With your code you are setting display attribute with relative.
try this:

if ($('.menu').css('display') == 'relative'){
   //your code
}

The problem is that display hasn't attribute relative, maybe you mean position like this:

<div class="menu" style="position:relative;">

and jQuery:

if ($('.menu').css('position') == 'relative'){
       //your code
    }

Answer 2

There is no display:relative in CSS. it is position:relative
