I don't get how the two following javascript/css codes can produces different result:
1st:
prev.setAttribute('style', 'position:absolute;left:-70px;opacity:0.4;border-radius: 150px;-webkit-border-radius: 150px;-moz-border-radius: 150px;');
2nd:
prev.setAttribute('style', 'opacity:0.4;border-radius: 150px;-webkit-border-radius: 150px;-moz-border-radius: 150px;');
prev.setAttribute('height', size);
prev.setAttribute('width', size);
prev.setAttribute('id', 'thumb'+i);
prev.setAttribute('position', 'absolute');
prev.setAttribute('left', '-70px');
in the 2nd one, position and left are completely ignored. The result are the same for having the 2 lines of codes and not having them.
It only works if I put prev.style.left
, the same thing with position. However setAttribute works for height and width. I really need to know why
position
andleft
are not attributes, they are styles.width
,height
andid
can be used as attributes or styles, which is why they work in your second example.
