question about putting variable in style change script

[insideview]

How do I do something, where

var x="-20%";

document.all("something").style.top=x
normally, this would work --

document.all("something").style.top='-20%';

but the above formulation doesn't..... is there some diff way?

try:

var x="-20%";

document.all("something").style.top= "'" + x + "'";

Provided the browser in question supports document.all, the above
"works".

Do no use document.all in isolation (or at all if IE 4 support is not
required), use document.getElementById with appropriate feature
detection.

It does work. You may not be getting the result you want, but that is
a question for a CSS group, not here.
