Are you certain? From my testing, if one tries to set attributes like
'style' using setAttribute rather than the property method, it fails
in IE6 (and lower, of course).

In fact, here's a page on PPK's site that seems to indicate this as well:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_core.html (Ctrl+F setAttribute)
There is a test page where you can verify for yourself.
