Mozilla doesn't like this IE compatible: createStyleSheet

[Sniipe]

document.createStyleSheet is not a function

Is there a substitute method I can use for this line:

var oSS = document.createStyleSheet();
	with(oSS)
	{
         ...
         }

createStyleSheet is a microsoft proprietary method. read this:

thanks for the post cLFlaVA,

Looks like I've hit a brick wall from that post. I don't know how to convert the rest of the code after that.

function writeStyle()
{
   var oSS = document.createStyleSheet();
   with(oSS)
   {
      addRule(".Calendar", "FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma; POSITION:absolute; DISPLAY:none; Z-INDEX:-1");
      addRule(...
           ...
   }
}

Unfortunately, I'm not overly familiar with CSS so I'm just gonna opt out of this code. I was hoping for an easy option out by changing a few lines of code.

ok, I've gotten a tiny bit further
I have an if statement to check if the browser is IE or other.

This is the IE code that works well:
addRule(".Calendar", "FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma; POSITION:absolute; DISPLAY:none; Z-INDEX:-1");

and I tried this line as I thought it might be the same:
myStyleSheet.insertRule(".Calendar", "FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma; POSITION:absolute; DISPLAY:none; Z-INDEX:-1");

But no joy, I really am hacking as this is really not my field at all. I'd really appreciate some help with this if at all possible.

why are you testing for IE / Non-IE browsers? Why not develop a method that works for all browsers? Ditch the createStyleSheet functionality altogether, and go with the one mentioned in the article.

is there any reason you're trying to create an inline style sheet (rather than utilizing an existing one)?

I'm sorry cLFlaVA, I'm a new graduate .net programmer and this vbscript with javascript in it is wrecking my head. Whats there is currently working, so I don't want to wreck it. Its a large amount of code for a date picker program. I'll have another look at the page u gave me, but it is a bit daunting.

I know what ur saying, why am I trying to re-invent the wheel. I had a look a few of the current free date pickers and none of them really suited my needs.
