Please help -- IE vs FF

**philcro** · 04-07-2012 12:55 PM

Changing a background color. This works in FF:

Code:

document.getElementById("box"+c+"cell").style.backgroundColor = "#CAFF89";

It does not work in IE. Instead, this works in IE:

Code:

box1cell.style.backgroundColor = "#CAFF89";

My question is how do I determine the DOM element's name dynamically in IE? (e.g. box1cell vs ("box"+c+"cell")

Can I do it without jquery? Thus far I've been unable to get jquery successfully working.

which version of IE?

this works fine in 8 (and I would be surprised if it doesn't in anything >5)

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<div style="height:100px; width:100px; background-color:red; "id="box1cell" onclick="change()"></div>
<input type="button" value="change" onclick="change()"/>
<script type="text/javascript">


function change(){
var c=1;
document.getElementById("box"+c+"cell").style.backgroundColor = "#CAFF89";
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

The first line should work, there must be something wrong with the associated markup, which you should show.
Also show how your code is being called.
