I'm trying to .Find() a TextArea inside a Div

 <div id='bla'>
   <textarea type='text' style='text-align:center; color:black; width:90px; border:1px     
    solid transparent; font-size:11px; margin:2px'>this is a test</textarea>
 </div>​​​​​​​​​​​​

 alert($('bla').find('textarea').css('border'))

but for some reason this returns 'undefined' any ideas why? I'm defining a border inside that style... :/

Missed the ID selector (#) before bla...

Instead, use the following:

alert($('#bla textarea').css('border'))

The selector only won't cut it, you forgot the dom ready part too.

$(function() {
    alert($('#bla').find('textarea').css('border'));
});

Also as selector this is cleaner

$('#bla textarea')

You need to use the # ID selector:

$("#bla").find("textarea").css("border");
