Question

How to write javascript to style an element in single line?
For example,

document.getElementById('add_new').style.top=-15;
document.getElementById('add_new').style.position='absolute';

It is possible to make it array or single line to style the element using javascript itself?

How to provide a shorthand for writing recurring accesses to objects?

Answer 1

I don’t recommend it, but you could do something like so to get it in “1” line:

with( document.getElementById('add_new').style ) { top=-15; position='absolute'; }

or another way:

element.style.cssText="background: black ; color: blue ; border: 1px solid green"
