	if(show!=undefined) { 
		var aid = show.SID;
		var arrID = aid.split(',');
		for (var j=0; j<arrID.length; j++){
			var theDiv = 'projectsList'; -- This is my parent Div name
			var newNode = document.createElement('div');  -- I am trying to create a New Div inside the Div of the parent with the Styles, also want to pass asa hidden field with the each div which is being created inside the parent div

Not sure I follow

You mean something like this

function getMyValues(){
  var show = window.showModalDialog("abc.cfm", window,"center=yes;dialogWidth:900px:dialogHeight:800px"); 
  if(show!=undefined) { 
    var aid = show.SID;
    var arrID = aid.split(',');
    var theDiv = document.getElementById('projectsList');
    alert('adding ' + arrID.length + ' elements'); // what does this alert?
    for (var j=0; j<arrID.length; j++){
       // I am trying to create a New Div inside the Div of the parent with the Styles, 
       // also want to pass as a hidden field with the each div which is being created inside the parent div
      var newNode = document.createElement('div');
      newNode.style.border='1px solid black';  
      newNode.innerHTML = arrID[j] + '<img src="somegif.gif" onclick="var el = this.parent; el.parent.removeChild(el)" />'; 
      theDiv.appendChild(newNode); 
    }
    
  }
}

yes the way i am doing is bit different but same as above

i am using the following as:

var newNode = document.createElement('div');
newNode.style.border='1px solid black';
newNode.style.textDecoration = 'none';

now the above breaks if i use something like this

var newNode = document.createElement('div');
newNode.style.border='1px solid black';
newNode.style.textDecoration = 'none !important';

using !important because globally a has underline and i want to remove underline from here

i am getting an error in second approach

Michel Plungjan

1. What error?
2. Why set text-decoration on a div and not on the links in the div? Set the className and use a style sheet

ASKER

if i declare the classname in my main global.css file, will it get it or i have to declare it just above where i am calling the function because i am making the function inside the JS File

Michel Plungjan

If the class is declared in the CSS and the div is created after the CSS has loaded, the div will get the class.

please guide

Michel Plungjan

your onclick is only removing the image

onclick="var el = this.parent; el.parent.removeChild(el)"

would remove the div that contains it.
