[Javascript] Changing a Div's Style- margin-left in IE5.5

Tue Jul 30 07:21:11 CDT 2002

I somewhat agree with Peter. Although I would not use "red" because it may 
be a recognized attribute, it's usually good programming practice to give 
your objects some form of recognizable name. Maybe something like 
'id="idMobileBox"'.

	document.all.red.style.marginLeft="100pt";

	For what it's worth, "red" may be a bad name to give an element; I know
it's recognized color in CSS and HTML.  I try to stay away from words that
mean anything when naming my objects... just my two cents, so use it as you
will.

Cheers,

Peter

|What I want to do is move the div element which has the

|changing the style's margin-left value to 100 points.
|I am using IE5.5.  Simply stated, I do not know how to

|in the correct process for this funciton and give a few
|comments to explain what they did.
