NS + JS = BS

[The Plankmeister]

This:

document.getElementById("content_container").style["marginTop"] = 20;

works as expected in IE6 and O7. But not in NS7. Anyone know why?

document.getElementById("content_container").style["marginTop"] = 20;
works as expected in IE6 and O7. But not in NS7. Anyone know why?

I think it should be .style.marginTop

but I KNOW that it should be "20px" not 20.

Works fine in Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030909, so I'd suspect it's something called a "bug"

You may want to try setting the style property as a string, complete with
units since that's what "marginTop" actually is:

document.getElementById("content_container").style["marginTop"] = "20px";
