Topic awaiting preservation: NN DOM dillemma (Page 1 of 1)

Ok, I'm about to start pulling my hair out here.... does onyone know how I write this,

document.all.containerdiv.style.height = heightvariable;

In Netscape 4 and 6 syntax?

Netscape 4:

document.containerdiv.height = heightvariable;

good browsers (including netscape 6):

document.getElementById('containerdiv').style.height = heightvariable + 'px';

I didnt think you need the +'px' is it needed ?

Well, you could say that it isn't exactly needed because *most* browsers will interpret 20 as 20px, but it's always better to tell the browser if you want it to be 20px, 20em or whatever. Just to be sure that it really looks the same in all browsers.

Thanks, works beautifully.
And no, you don't have to put in the 'Px' part.

It's not necessary, but strongly recommended.
