JavaScript & Border Property

Can't get it to work?

[krieves]

I know I'm doing something stupid, but I can't figure this out. I trying use a function to change the border property of a <td>. Here is my function:

<script>

function xyz(){
document.all.abc.style.border-left= "2px solid black";
}
</script>

It doesn't work and I can't get the syntax right. I tried "borderleft" and it doesn't work.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Never mind I figured it out.

<script>

function xyz(){
document.all.abc.style.borderLeft= "2px solid black";
}
</script>

Uppercase L on left. Go figure.

go figure

You've noticed an important rule about hyphenated css properties and javascript. When you're accessing the css with javascript you always drop the hyphen and capitalize the second word. I often wish it was consistent between the two, but it's not.
