Hello everyone,
I am developing a AJAX based IM application. I use javascript to
dynamically generated small windows using nested <div> within the
web-page.
I use the following ways to set attributes & styles e.g.
[divTag].style.height=1 0; for styles
[divTag].setAttribute(" id","outer") for attributes
I have two problems with this
1)I have to set a large number of attributes & styles, is there any
shorter/compact technique.
2) [divTag].style.borderCo lor (I need this for shadow effect)&
[divTag].scrollTop (I need this to keep d scroll bar at bottom) cant be
set, setting them makes no difference
Please provide help to solve above problems, or tell me if I am using
the wrong approach.
Thank You

The height property takes a length, not an integer. Units are required (and
failing to include them will cause your script to break in some browsers,
if you were in Standards mode (via Doctype Switching) then it would break
in more browsers).
[divTag].setAttribute(" id","outer") for attributes
I thought IE didn't support setAttribute? (I could be wrong).
1)I have to set a large number of attributes & styles, is there any
shorter/compact technique.
Set as few attributes as possible, CSS handles almost everything these days.
Then set a className rather then each property one by one.
2) [divTag].style.borderCo lor (I need this for shadow effect)&
[divTag].scrollTop (I need this to keep d scroll bar at bottom) cant be
set, setting them makes no difference
I've no idea why setting borderColor wouldn't work. Try providing a URL so
we can see the problem in context. I've never played with scrollTop, so I
can't make any suggestions there.

Though one may happen upon rare occasions where the value is only ever a
number. <http://www.jibbering.c om/faq/faq_notes/misc.html#mtCSS Un> [divTag].setAttribute(" id","outer") for attributes

It does, but satisfactorily, badly or incorrectly, depending upon what
it's being used to do. :-/
If a script deals with IE then it is scripting a HTML document. In that
case, stick to using the property shortcuts.

While it is all too true that IE does not support XHTML at all, the
"property shortcuts" are defined for XHTML 1.0 documents, too, as
W3C DOM Level 2 HTML applies for both HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 documents.

I have a site where I am setting a style dynamically, using the JS
statement:

This works just fine, with just one small problem: I want to set the style

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
