Set max-height using javascript

Question

I have a div, maximum width for div is user defined. I know I can get it done using element.style.height but this doesn,t work in IE.

Any Idea how can I implement max-height equivalent of firefox by using javascript.

Answer 1

document.getElementById ( "yourelementid" ).style.maxHeight = "100px";

See maxHeight Property

maxHeight was introduced in Windows Internet Explorer 7

Answer 2

Usually style attribute names are translated into javascript property names by removing the hyphens and camelcase the name instead.

So background-color becomes backgroundColor, text-align becomes textAlign and max-height becomes maxHeight.

You can set an element el's maximum height to mHeight by:

el.style.maxHeight=mHeight;

Remember to use a valid value for mHeight.
