document.getElementById and dynamic styles

Asked by susanBuck in Dynamic HTML (DHTML), JavaScript

Tags: ,

I'd like to use getElementById and style in a function, passing in the style as a dynamic paramater - Like in the example function below where whichStyle is the paramater for the dynamic style, and I pass in top.

ie, what i want to create is : document.getElementById(whichDiv).style.top = value + "px";  
where top can actually be a variable I pass in.

Is this possible, if so, how?Start Free Trial

   document.getElementById(whichDiv).style.whichStyle = value + "px";
  
}
 
dynamicallySetStyle("myDiv","top",100);
