Trouble with stylesheets in IE
I'm trying to manipulate a stylesheet to make elements appear and disappear on an HTML form. The code I've adapted from various sources works fine on non-IE browsers and sort of works on IE but there's something I don't understand and can't get to work.
My page starts:
Code:
<style ID=\"xyzzy\" TYPE=\"text/css\">
</style>
<SCRIPT TYPE=\"text/javascript\">
<!--
function setClassAttr(c, a, v) {
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var e;
// Style sheet management depends on browser.
// See URL or URL
if (agt.indexOf('gecko') != -1) {
e=document.getElementById('xyzzy');
e.sheet.insertRule(c + ' { ' + a + ': ' + v + '}',
e.sheet.cssRules.length)
}
else if ( (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)
&& (agt.indexOf('msie') != -1) ) {
document.styleSheets['xyzzy'].addRule(c, a+':'+v);
}
}
...
And I use this to set "display" to "block" or "none" for subordinate elements when a checkbox is checked or unchecked.
As I said, this works for non-IE browsers but in IE, I click the first checkbox and nothing appears to happen. If I then click the background of the document, the elements appear. I've searched the web and MSDN for some way of flushing the stylesheet change or generating a Click from JavaScript and I can't find anything. I tried disabling and reabling the stylesheet and it didn't help. I tried moveBy(0,0) and it didn't help.
Is this a bug in IE or in my understanding of what should happen? If the former, how can I work around it? Can I generate a Click from JavaScript somehow? Redraw the window somehow? If the latter, what am I missing?
TIA.
