My element.style.top assignment is not working in Firefox

[BClareS]

Sorry, I have found my mistake, but I cannot delete this post.
I have discovered by experiment that element.style.t op assignment in IE works with just a number on the right but in Firefox you have to put the unit too. Original code is below. Adding "+'px'" made it work in Firefox too.

javascript
	var fullsizeimage = document.getElementById('fullsizeimageframe');
	if (!fullsizeimage) return false;
	var coord = new Array(2);
	coord = findPos(whichpic);
	alert(coord[1]);
	alert(fullsizeimage.offsetTop);
	document.getElementById('fullsizeimageframe').style.top = coord[1]; 
	alert(fullsizeimage.style.top);
  .....

alert results IE: 162; -2; 162px (div moves)
alert results Firefox 2: 162; 0; blank (div doesn't move)

hi ...

i think you have to set explicitly:

[CODE=javascript]ele_ref.style.t op = 'width px';[/CODE]

so add + 'px' to your set-statement ...

kind regards

Yes, units are required for html and css as the standard so states.

{

    if (window.pageYOffset)

        ScrollTop = window.pageYOffset;

    else

        ScrollTop = (document.body.parentElement) ? document.body.parentElement.scrollTop : 0;

}

        shadow.style.top = ScollTop +'px';
        shadow.style.left = 0;

Welcome to Bytes. Glad you managed to solve it. I assume the problem was a mis-spelling.

PS. please remember to use [code] tags when posting code. Thanks.
