Question

Setting the style attribute to elements is not working in IE 6/7 . But in other browsers, it works well.

The code i am using is

var box_style = 'width: 200px; background:red';

document.getElementById('box').setAttribute("style", box_style);

This works in all other browsers except IE 6/7

Am i doing anything wrong ? or is there any solution for this problem ? Please help !

Answer 1

Try changing that to

var box = document.getElementById('box');
box.style.width = '200px';
box.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
