Question

Using IE 6/7/8, I receive a JavaScript error code.

The line of code is:

document.getElementById('all').style.backgroundColor = color;

The IE 6/7/8 is:

Invalid property value

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Are you running this code after the DOM is completely loaded? Perhaps there is no ‘panel-hlisting-all’ yet? If you’re using Prototype, you might try:

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { // Wait until everything is loaded.
   document.getElementById('panel-hlisting-all').style.background = color;
 });

Just a thought — and I have no way of testing it on IE (thankfully/unfortunately), but what if you tried:

document.getElementById('panel-hlisting-all').style.backgroundColor = color;

Added:

Also note that color must be a string containing a valid CSS color (#FFFFFF, rgb(255,255,255), rgba(255,255,255,1)).
