Pseudo-element CSS Dynamically Using JavaScript

Is it possible to set the CSS of a pseudo-element dynamically? For example: jQuery dynamically styling help container $('#help').css({ 'width' : windowWidth - xOffset, 'hei

Solution 1:

You can't do it directly through jQuery.

Look at this question: Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript

@Box9's answer is probably the one you should actually use:

I threw together a small library for this since I do think there are valid use cases for manipulating stylesheets in JS.

Solution 2:

Rather than setting the width and height using .css(), you should just use .width() and height() directly.
