The TR has an initial style I want to set to "". I tried to do it with cssText property but it doesn't work (must also work with IE8)
<html>
<head>
<style>
tr.test {background-color:#000000;margin:0;border:0;padding:0;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: silver; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">
<td>test</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
_table = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0];
_tbody = _table.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0];
_tr = _tbody.getElementsByTagName("tr")[0];
_tr.cssText = "";
_tr.className="test";
</script>
cssText
is a property of a style rule, not of an HTML element.
