Question

i am facing an issue and getting error like
“SCRIPT5002 function expected” in internet explorer 7-9.
this is my code :

 var myDiv = document.getElementById("divId"); //this line gives me "SCRIPT5002 function expected" error.

 myDiv.style.cssText("position:absolute;z-index:999");
myDiv.appendChild(
        JavaScriptCode);

so how to solve this??

Answer 1

The problem should be in the 2nd line:

myDiv.style.cssText("position:absolute;z-index:999");

cssText is not a function, but a property. So call it like this:

myDiv.style.cssText = "position:absolute;z-index:999";

or (better approach in my opinion, because it is clearer):

myDiv.style.position = 'absolute';
myDiv.style.zIndex = 999;
