well, to be clear, styles, classes and css are all different things (though
obviously related) so I might be getting confused by wording about what
you're trying to do. Not to mention, I'm a js newbie... :-)
if you have a rule (either in the head or an external stylesheet) that says
#ajaxCFCLoadingIndicator { background-color: red;}
and then you dynamically create #ajaxCFCLoadingIndicator, then it has the
style background-color: red
...unless, you've added a different background-color as an inline-style,
either when you created the div or otherwise modified it via javascript
<div id="ajaxCFCLoadingIndicator style="background-color: blue;">
the inline or dynamically modified css will always take precedence (all else
equal)
