This.style.background

Question

I assigned var color = this.style.background under a event listener function click and then compared it to a specific rbg color in a if statement but it is not working even if they are same

Answer 1

style property only read the style properties from the element.

for example
<div style='background: #ff0'>
it can read the style.background as rgb(255,255,0)

but if you're using
div{
background: #ff0
}
style.background would be empty
