Question

Can anyone help point me in the right direction – I have the following in a function:

document.form1.textbox1.style.display = ‘none’;

which works fine.

But I’m trying to find a list of all the possible ‘elements'(?) that could come after style, e.g. ‘.display=’, ‘.length=’ etc, but I don’t know the proper name/terms so the searches i’m doing are not returning what I want.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance! 🙂

See the CSS spec. Convert hyphenated-names to camelCase (e.g. backgroundColor not background-color).

Also see the DOM spec.

That said, in most cases it is usually better to modify the element.className (and have a pre–written, external style sheet) instead of modifying the element.style.*
