jQuery noob: click function css... I am doing something wrong, but what?

Question

Hi, simplest thing ever but here:

$j(".srch-txt").click(function() {
$j(this).css("color:" "#155D97")
});

$j is a no conflict

So it's pretty easy to see what I'm trying to do: When the .srch-txt element is clicked, change its color to #155D97.

Where have I gone wrong?

thanks!

Answer 1

Change color: to color see if that does it.

Answer 2

You don't need the ':' after the css property.

Answer 3

You're forgetting a comma, and you have an extra colon:

$j(this).css("color", "#155D97");

Answer 4

$j(".srch-txt").click(function() {
$j(this).css("color", "#155D97")
});
