[jQuery] detemine css properties?

[jQuery] detemine css properties?


Hi,
How (if it's possible) would I determine a specific css property for
an element?
For example, I have the following code on my page:
<style>
.information {display:block; background-color: #FFF}
</style>
<div class="information">

ipsum lorem

</div>
-------
I'd then like to use jquery to determine the background-color of the
element. So that when a button or something is clicked:
if the background-color of .information is #FFF, then do X, but if the
background-color is #CCC, then do Y.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
