[thelist] floating with javascript

[joe]

Hi Douglas

for any attributes that you can't access using:

whateverNode.style.attribute = value 

(eg this doesn't work with float but will work with attributes like 
padding etc) - you should be able to use:

whateverNode.setAttribute("style", "attribute: value");
