First look at css hooks. These hooks provide a way to change how jQuery handles getting and setting certain css properties. This means normalizing properties like background-position can easily be done via plugins.

They are similar in concept to the special event hooks. Return false from the hook to revert control back to jQuery's normal processes for getting and setting certain css properties.
