[jQuery] Underline stroke/height with Jquery css?

[jQuery] Underline stroke/height with Jquery css?


I'm looking for a way to adjust the height of an underline element.
Specifically I'm not looking to do a border-bottom CSS attribute and I
was wondering if there is some method in JQuery that could style a CSS
element that cannot accept values.
For example I could do the following:
h1 {font:bold 35px verdana;text-decoration:underline;}
but I want to give the underline a px value. This cannot be done in
CSS, but is there a JQuery method that can help achieve that?
