As a newcomer to web programming, I am currently working on incorporating a slider into my website using jQuery. My goal is to change the background color of the slider to red when the value is less than 5 and green when it exceeds 5. Can this be achieved with CSS? And if so, how can I seamlessly integrate CSS with my existing jQuery code?
Here's where I stand in my progress:
UPDATE: I attempted to use the .css() method on the slider element by setting the background-color property to #ff0000, but unfortunately, it did not yield the desired results.
