Get the styles (width, height, text color, and background color) of a clicked division.

 <body>
 <p  id="result">&nbsp;</p>
 <div  id="box1">A</div>
 <div  id="box2">B</div>
 <div  id="box3">C</div>
 </body>

Sample solution :

HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Get the styles (width, height, text color, and background color) of a clicked division.</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="result">&nbsp;</p>
<div id="box1">A</div>
<div id="box2">B</div>
<div id="box3">C</div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code :

 div {
 height: 50px;
 margin: 5px;
 padding: 5px;
 float: left;
 }
 #box1
 width: 50px;
 color: yellow;
 background-color: red;
 }
 #box2 
 width: 50px;
 color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
 background-color: rgb(15, 99, 30);
 }
 #box3 {
 width: 50px;
 color: #fcc;
 background-color: #123456;
 }
 p {
 color: blue;
 }

JavaScript Code :

$( "div" ).click(function() {
var html = [ "The clicked div has the following styles:" ];
var styleProps = $( this ).css([
"width", "height", "color", "background-color"
]);
$.each( styleProps, function( prop, value ) {
html.push( prop + ": " + value );
});

$( "#result" ).html( html.join( "<br>" ) );
});
