Assign Variable to Style Property

[Axel Siebenwirth]

Hi,

I am desperately trying to assign a variable or rather the return value of a
function to a style property.

document.getEle mentById("line" ).style.width=g etInsideWindowW idth();

But it is not working.. and I have no idea why. I can output the return
value of getInsideWindow Width with alert(getInside WindowWidth();) and its
working fine..

Thanks for any help!

Regards,
Axel

For a start make sure you set a proper CSS width value e.g.
...style.width = getInsideWindow Width() + 'px';
If that doesn't help then provide some more details on what the function
returns, what kind of element line is, which browser that fails with.

That did it. Thanks!

I did ...style.width = getInsideWindow Width() + "px";
and that didn't work...

I think element must be block type - display:block
rw
