[RESOLVED] JavaScript & CSS – quick question!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 12.2008

I’m using a JavaScript function to change the margin property of a div. I click once and it changes just fine, I click the other button and and it’s supposed to change a back, but doesn’t… in Firefox anyway…

function swapMargin() {
document.getElementById(‘buttons’).style.margin = “0”;
}
function swapBack() {
document.getElementById(‘buttons’).style.margin = “0 250px 0 0”;
}

And the buttons obviously call each function…

The bug is in FF …. seems to set the style once, but wont do it again!

PLEASE HELP!

function swapMargin() {

document.getElementById('buttons').style.margin = [B]"0 0 0 0";[/B]

}

function swapBack() {

document.getElementById('buttons').style.margin = "0 250px 0 0";

}

@KorMay 13.2008 — or, to avoid any misunderstanding, set the margin position:
<i>
</i>function swapMargin() {
document.getElementById('buttons').style.marginLeft = "0";
}
function swapBack() {
document.getElementById('buttons').style.marginLeft = "250px";
}

@robmarstonauthorMay 13.2008 — Worked perfectly, thanks so much!

In one of my instances I forgot the "x" in "px" -- that may've also been the culprit!

Success!
