[Javascript] GetElementByElement?

[Chris Tifer]

GetElementByElement?If I get you right, you should just need to give this DIV an ID and call something like:

setStyle("IDName", "display", "none")
// Where IDName is the ID of your DIV

Now if you want to use this method to apply multiple styles to a single element, it looks like you'll just need to make multiple calls.

  Hello All,

  I grabbed a bit of code from a dhtml kitchen tutorial.  I am trying to modify it to fit my needs.  Below is the original code 

      function setStyle(obj,style,value){
          getRef(obj).style[style]= value;
      }
      
      function getRef(obj){
          return (typeof obj == "string") ?
               document.getElementById(obj) : obj;
      }

  You can then use an onclick event to set a style by id, and it works beautifully.  

  <p class="link" onclick="setStyle('fixed','visibility','hidden')">Close The Ad</p>

  What I need to do is change and element property along with an id property.  In other words, set  a div to display:none; and change the an element like body: padding-bottom: 0;  
  I don't know if a function exists like getElement?  Maybe than I could write a function to recognize the body element css properties in order to switch the properties?  Has anyone tired to do this before?  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Simeon
