Question

I have a div, and the maximum width for this div is user defined. I know I can get it done using element.style.height but this doesn’t work in IE.

Any ideas on how to implement the max-height equivalent of Firefox by using javascript?

Answer 1

Usually style attribute names are translated into javascript property names by removing the hyphens and camelcase the name instead.

So background-color becomes backgroundColor, text-align becomes textAlign and max-height becomes maxHeight.

You can set an element el‘s maximum height to mHeight by:

el.style.maxHeight=mHeight;

Remember to use a valid value for mHeight.
