Other method to access style property?

[tan.dalat]

Hi,

Due to a restriction on the host, I'm not allowed to use .style, so I'm
unable to manipulate the style property of the element. Is there any
other way to get to style without using something like
getElementById(id).style ? Is there any method sorta like
getElementById(id).getStyle ? Thanks much.

Are you not allowed to manipulate the style object, or just not allowed
to use '.style', literally. If it's the latter, then use square bracket
notation:

obj['style']

If you cannot manipulate the style object, you will not be able to alter
the inline style of the element. However, you could change the class
attribute:

obj.className = 'new-style';

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks much, Mike. I was thinking of
using the square brackets and somehow, I drifted away from actually
playing with it (well, the effect of late night I guess).
