Something very, very wrong with my understanding of JavaScript

24 New Member
Why won't this script work? The first two messages are blank. I put the third one there just to make sure I'm locating the correct element.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <style type="text/css">
  3. #abc {
  4.   position: absolute;
  5.   left: 1px;
  6.   top: 1px;  
  7.   padding-left: 1px;
  8.   padding-top: 1px;
  9. }
  10. </style>
  11.  
  12. <script type="text/javascript">
  13. function BtnMouseUp() {
  14.    alert(document.getElementById("abc").style.paddingTop);
  15.    alert(document.getElementById("abc").style.top);
  16.    alert(document.getElementById("abc").innerHTML);
  17. }
  18. </script>
  19.  
  20. <body>
  21. <div onmouseup="BtnMouseUp();">
  22. <span id="abc">Hello</span>
  23. </div>
  24. </body>
  25. </html>
