Why my .style.left doesn”t work with FireFox?

14 Replies

This is a simple & stupid knowledge that I taken about 2 days to solve it.

I have a project that have to use this code….

var con = document.getElementById(“menu”);

con.style.left = “10″;

con.style.top = “20″;

When I run this code in Internet Explorer 6, 7.

I got it working like I want!

But when I try with Mozilla FireFox.

It never works!

Man! I hate DOM, if I have enough money. I’ll buy Microsoft and stop Internet Explorer project to reduce browser compatibility issues. :-)

I try to use FireBug to change the css real-time, it does work very well.

The key point of this issue is that YOU MUST APPEND the property with UNIT!

I changed the code to…

con.style.left = “10px”;

con.style.top = “20px”;

And now it works!

Gotcha!

Simple & Stupid, right?

Use JavaScript to change “float” style

Hey friends,

In a few days ago, I’ve just stuck with how to change “float” style in JavaScript and very confuse why it doesn’t work at all!

I’m using …

var obj = document.getElementById(“some1”);

obj.style.float = “left”;

No luck at all. I tried both on Internet Explorer and Firefox. Even I use Internet Explorer Toolbar and Firebug. I can change the style via that tools but no luck with JavaScript.

Silly?

I’m fool with DOM. I try to find a solution and suddenly found that.

In DOM, there are no “float” property but “cssFloat”.

Just change my code to …

var obj = document.getElementById(“some1”);

obj.style.cssFloat = “left”;

Really silly huh?
