Assign Javascript values to HTML attributes

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

one more question: how can I assign a return value of a Javascript function to an HTML attribute??

What I’m trying to do is to set the height of a table to a certain value depending on the total height of the browser frame – it should look similiar to this:

<table height=”javascript:function()”>

How does it work???

var myTab = document.getElementById('mytable');

myTab.style.height=[I]somenumber[/I]+'px';

}

One thought is to run the function onLoad, then use the style properties to set the table height.

So give your table an ID="whatever" tag then add to your function something like this:

document.whatever.style.height = xyz;

Be warned tho - the height attribute on a table element is anything but consistent - works better on a DIV.

Success!
