div-specific css merging

[drblitzkrieg]

Hi, I'm wondering if this is possible:

Can you assign a different CSS file to each DIV in your document, and
then with JavaScript dynamically change it out? An example would be
appreciated.

No. But, why would you want to? Assign each DIV element a class and
change its className property.


document.getElementById('myDiv').style.className = "newClass";

Should be:

document.getElementById('myDiv').className = "newClass";

Should be:

document.getElementById('myDiv').className = "newClass";

Should be:

/** @see http://PointedEars.de/scripts/types.js */
function isMethodType(s)
{
return /\b(function|object)\b/i.test(s);
}

var o;
if (isMethodType(typeof document.getElementById)
&& document.getElementById
&& (o = document.getElementById('myDiv'))
&& typeof o.className != "undefined")
{
o.className = "newClass";
}

No it shouldn't.

Yes, it should, as that is the most reliable and most compatible way
conceived for a feature test of a DOM method so far. You will find that
confirmed if you read the discussions you are referring to below more
thoroughly.

Since it has already been shown to you that your function can return
incorrect results, anything based on that code is suspect.

It has merely been shown that the function can return incorrect
results if applied in the wrong way. As that is the case with
any code. Stop trolling.

I have to ask. After all of the carping you did about the issue of
passing unqualified references, how do you justify these?

function isDefined(a)
{
return (typeof a != "undefined");
}

function isUndefined(a)
{
return (typeof a == "undefined");
}
