Question

I currently have an HTML page that has a grey BODY background. Now I would like to overwrite this and change this to white using Javascript. I also would like to change some other elements’ padding and margin. I try to accomplish this using the innerHTML property.

The thing is everything is working, apart from the newly introduced element, which is not applied in IE7 or IE8. It does work in FireFox however.

        <script>
        // if using jQuery
        $(document).ready(function() { 
        document.body.innerHTML = '
    <style type="text/css"> 
      body { 
        background-color: #FFFFFF 
        !important; } 
        #todayBirthdays, #weekendBirthdays, #noBirthdays, #todayJubileums, #weekendJubileums { 
padding: 0 !important; 
        margin: 0 !important; 
        }
    </style>
            <div style="text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF">' + 
        document.getElementById('WebPartctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_7118b319_c5b0_4214_a46d_27131866cde3').innerHTML + 
        '</div>';`
                 });
            </script>

Can you please advise?

Many thanks!

Why not just

$('body').css('background-color', '#fff');
$('#todayBirthdays, #weekendBirthdays, #noBirthdays, #todayJubileums, #weekendJubileums').css('padding', 0).css('margin', 0);
