I am trying to set the margin of an object from JavaScript. I am able to do it in Opera & Firefox, but the code doesn't work in Internet Explorer.
Here is the JavaScript I have:
function SetTopMargin (ObjectID, Value) { document.getElementById(ObjectID).style.marginTop = Value.toString() + "px"; }
And it is called like this:
SetTopMargin("test_div_id", 100);
So does anyone know some code that will work in Internet Explorer?
[Updated in 2016] On all current browsers (including IE8+), your code
document.getElementById(ObjectId).style.marginTop = Value.ToString() + 'px';
works fine.
On very old IE (< 8) versions, you must use this non-standard contraption instead:
document.getElementById(ObjectId).style.setAttribute( 'marginTop', Value.ToString() + 'px');
EDIT - From deleted comment by OP:
Note that while you can use style.setAttribute('margin-top', ..) in current IEs, 8 and older require style.setAttribute('marginTop', ..)
