jQuery CSS plugin that returns computed style of element to pseudo clone that element?

Question

I\'m looking for a way using jQuery to return an object of computed styles for the 1st matched element. I could then pass this object to another call of jQuery\'s css method

Answer 1

$.fn.cssCopy=function(element,styles){
var self=$(this);
if(element instanceof $){
    if(styles instanceof Array){
        $.each(styles,function(val){
            self.css(val,element.css(val));
        });
    }else if(typeof styles===”string”){
        self.css(styles,element.css(styles));
    }
}
return this;
};

Use example

$("#element").cssCopy($("#element2"),['width','height','border'])
