document.getElementById.style.backgroundColor on IE5 for MAC

[clarissa1996]

Hi all,

the following javascript does not works with "IE5 for MAC".

If you want to try the program, here is the link:

<snip>

On "IE5 for MAC" after selecting a checkbox and pressing the button "INIZIA" the table disappears.

Probably the problem is in the following line:

document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = '#c0c0c0';

If you look in the code you will find this line in the function initGame().

On all other browser works OK!

Note: this is for a free program that I am writing for a primary school. I do not work on MAC and therefore it is for me very hard to find the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Clarissa

Your code looks ok to me. I use something like the following which AFAIK works in all common browsers:

 var el = document.getElementById(id); 
 if(el.currentStyle) { 
  // for msie 
  el.style.backgroundColor = "#c0c0c0"; 
 } else { 
  // for real browsers ;) 
  el.style.setProperty("background-color", "#c0c0c0"); 
 }
