[jQuery] Get Global CSS Value

[jQuery] Get Global CSS Value


I've looked everywhere and it should be simple
I know you can get current /actual css value for an element assigned
to class
ie: via $('myitem).css('cssvalue')
But I want to have a stylesheet that contains my own custom values
which I read and then assign to my page elements.FYI If I create a
CSS class with custom properties and assign to an existing element
then while I can get valid CSS properties I cannot get the custom
value (except with IE)
eg:
My
{
a1Type: Date;
a1ValidMesg:Please enter a valid date
Validate:@@Internal code to be send to server via Ajax@@
}
How can get these values indepently of the page element.
