How can i set my background color through HTML5 getItem?

Question

Im using this code:

$(this).css('backgroundcolor', localStorage.getItem('bgColorr') + " !important;");

When i write:

alert( localStorage.getItem('bgColorr') + " !important;");

It gives me the proper alert, rgb(243,102,42) !important; ....

Really getting to me.. thanks guys!

edit:

Surrounding code:

$(function() { $(this).css('background-color', localStorage.getItem('bgColorr')); });

var colorOptions = '#000, #fff, #abf7ae, #f6cbe9, #53c68f, #53c1c6, #538dc6, #c6536b'.split(', '), colorDivs = [], colorsContainer = $('#colorsContainer');

for ( var i = 0, len = colorOptions.length; i < len; i++ ) { var div = $('').css('background', colorOptions[i])[0]; colorDivs.push(div); }

colorsContainer.append(colorDivs);

$('#header').hover(function() { colorsContainer .fadeIn(200) .children('div') .click(function() { $('body').css('background', $(this).css('backgroundColor')); localStorage.setItem('bgColorr', $(this).css('backgroundColor')); });

}, function() { colorsContainer.fadeOut(200); });

There you go, thanks guys

Answer 1

Your problem is not in getItem or anything, but the capitalization of your CSS property name. It's backgroundColor, not backgroundcolor.

Answer 2

• Use 'background-color' instead of 'backgroundcolor'.
• Remove the !important. You can't set this property from Javascript.
• You shouldn't put the semicolon at the end of the value.

Update:

In addition to the above, it seems that this is not an HTML element. You need to use a proper selector here, e.g. $('#someid') to select the element with id='someid'. If you want to change the body background, use $('body').

To summarize, you should be left with:

$('body').css('background-color', localStorage.getItem('bgColorr'));
