I am trying to set the div width dynamically using ng-style
but it is not applying the style. Here is the code:
<div style="width: 100%;" id="container_fform" ng-controller="custController">
<div style="width: 250px;overflow: scroll;">
<div ng-style="myStyle"> </div>
</div>
</div>
Controller:
var MyApp = angular.module('MyApp', []);
var custController = MyApp.controller('custController', function ($scope) {
$scope.myStyle="width:'900px';background:red";
});
What am I missing?

The syntax of ng-style
is not quite that. It accepts a dictionary of keys (attribute names) and values (the value they should take, an empty string unsets them) rather than only a string. I think what you want is this:
<div ng-style="{ 'width' : width, 'background' : bgColor }"></div>
And then in your controller:
$scope.width = '900px';
$scope.bgColor = 'red';
This preserves the separation of template and the controller: the controller holds the semantic values while the template maps them to the correct attribute name.
ngStyle
accepts a map:
$scope.myStyle = {
"width" : "900px",
"background" : "red"
};
