Firefox and getElementById

[Hartmut J?ger]

Hi there,

I defined a div in the HTML body like this one:

<div id="santa" style="position : absolute; top: 400px; left: 700px;">
<img src="grafiken/xmasani.gif" width="96" height="72" border="0">
</div>

When I refer in JavaScript to this <div> with:

document.getEle mentById["santa"].style.pixelTop = docheight-72;

I always get the error message "document.getEl ementById.santa has no
properties" in Firefox 1.0 JavaScript Console.

Where is the point of my mistake?

I want to move a GIF-Animation on the document window. In IE6 all runs
well.

Thanks for help. Hartmut

That is a function you need to call with () e.g.
document.getEle mentById("santa ")
Also pixelTop is not a property defined in CSS so use
document.getEle mentById("santa ").style.to p = (docheight-72) + 'px';

Because Microsoft seems to find it amusing to allow invalid markup and
scripting to work on an /ad hoc/ basis.

Thanks to all for your answers. It works fine now with Firefox. Seems,
that I use the wrong books, because I can read in SelfHTML (a german
online book) document.getEle mentById["...."] with [] paranthesis.

And a peaceful christmas time to you all. Hartmut

URL?

http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/document.htm#get_element_by_id

is correct

Aside from the remarkably bad example, yes.
