Question

Basically i just want to have padding to the left and not all around on this code:

if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
  document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
  document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="1px solid #000";
  document.getElementById("livesearch").style.background="#FFF";
  document.getElementById("livesearch").style.padding-left="10px";    
}

But i don’t know the syntax as padding-left breaks the argument. Is there a better way to do this without using a CSS as there are different styles depending on the if/else statements?

Answer 1

In native js you want paddingLeft not padding left

document.getElementById("livesearch").style.paddingLeft="10px";
