I'm gonna start from scratch, because all I've gotten is errors so far :P
Example html:
Ok, with this I want to resize the div using the onclick event. That's it. Why can't I do this?Code:<html> <body> <div name="d">Test</div> <button onclick="resize_div()">Button</button> </body>

post the js code so we can see what the problem may be.

That's it. Just trying to keep it basic after hours of pulling my hair out.Code:var d = document.getElementsByName("d"); // this works d.style.height = "100px"; // this does not work, error "style is undefined" d.style.setAttribute("height","100px"); // this does not work, error "style is undefined" d.clientHeight = "100px"; // this does not work
Edit:
Found the problem. Left out one of those pesky indexers :P
For example, an array of radio buttons does not have a single style attribute. However, one specific radio button does.
I wish I could close this thread and save myself some ridicule. Lesson learned

The link below, with an excerpt below that, seems like it might be addressing the problem you are having.

It seems to me that inline elements do not have a height css attribute (unlike block elements, which do have a height css attribute). If you want to use the height attribute, you will have to change the display attribute of thisnav to 'block'.
Two rules of development:
1) Computers work for people; People do not work for computers
2) Maintainability is all that matters.
