setAttribute('style', ...) workaround for IE

Luis Serrano July 29, 2008 Reply

This is great! I've improved it just a bit:

_setStyle: function (aElement /* object */, aDeclaration /* CSS Declaration */) {
try {
if (aElement) {
aDeclaration = aDeclaration.replace(/\s+/g,''); // remove all white spaces
if (document.all) { // IE Hack
if (aDeclaration.charAt(aDeclaration.length-1)==';')
aDeclaration = aDeclaration.slice(0, -1);
var k, v;
var splitted = aDeclaration.split(';');
for (var i=0, len=splitted.length; i<len; i++) {
k = rzCC(splitted[i].split(':')[0]);
v = splitted[i].split(':')[1];
eval("aElement.style."+k+"='"+v+"'");
}
return (true);
} else { // The clean way
aElement.setAttribute ('style', aDeclaration);
return (true);
}
}
} catch (e) {
return (false);
}
}

Hope you like it. Good job mate ;)
