MS DOM and style and class

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

I have written some DOM code to create a table but .setAttribute( "style",
....) and .setAttribute( "class", ...) are not working on IE where they _do_
work on both FF and Opera.

I am using 4.01 transitional.

Could someone give me the lowdown on this and give me an explanation please
:)

I can post a link to a whittled down example if really required.

tableRef.style.property
tableRef.className

IE doesn't like setAttribute

No I am refering to DOM. e.g.

var tr = document.createElement("tr");
var td = document.createElement("td");
tr.appendChild(td);

tr.setAttribute( "style", "font-size:xx-small");
thead.appendChild(tr);

The setAttribute only works on FF and Opera not IE.

See my answer at

Stop patchning attribute nodes in the document tree instead of
scripting DOM (which is what you want as I can tell).

tr.style.fontSize = 'xx-small';

[Aaron Gray]

tr.style.fontSize = 'xx-small';

Nice, thanks alot, thats sorted that onr out at last.
