jQuery store actual CSS background color, apply a new and then restore the original
<p>I'm trying to notify the modified field on an AJAX petition with changing the background of <code>&lt;tr /&gt;</code> changed but I cant get it working.</p>

<p>My code contains an AJAX petition but I handle this right the problem is with that:</p>

<pre><code>var $this = $(this);
if(confirm("Delete?"))
{
    // My AJAX petition returns TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE:

    // Store the ORIGINAL color
    var ORIGINAL = $this.closest("tr.entry").css('backgroundColor');

    // The alert works fine
    alert(ORIGINAL);

    // Change the color with the desired and then change with the original after a delay.
    // If i dont use the delay() and the second css() works fine.

    $this.closest("tr.entry").css('backgroundColor','#ace997').delay(500).css('backgroundColor', ORIGINAL);
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
