setting style.height to div through js works in IE but not FF

[bopritchard]

here's my page

in the onload i'm running a setheight() javascript function that looks at the height of a couple of other divs and then sets the height of another div...

it works fine in IE but does nothing in firefox...anyone know why?

thanks

This works for me in FF:

alert(document.body.clientWidth);

I'm guessing you will want clientHeight as well

Cheers,

so how would write this using that method

document.getElementById('calendarcontent').style.height=200px;

 

[BabyJeffy]

Like this...

document.getElementById('calendarcontent').style.height='200px';

When you set it, remember that it is a string, and so needs to be wrapped in quotes or whatever

ensure that you add the dimension specifier (eg: px) to the value.

IE (as usual) will ignore the missing dimension specifier and assume pixels, FF correctly requires it.
