DIV Widths and DOCTYPE

So I didn't know whether to put this in HTML & CSS or here. So I'm just going to put it here and the mods can move it if needed.

So I had this script working for auto width of a DIV, then I added DOCTYPE to the top of my document, now it won't change the width ha ha. I have tried with all DOCTYPE's and same thing.

The JS I am using is:

window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById("right").style.width= + screen.width - 193;
}

As I said this worked before I added DOCTYPE to the top of the HTML. But when I add any one of the DOCTYPES it stops working.

Any ideas?

Try this.


window.onload = (function(){
var right = document.getElementById("right");
if(right) {
right.style.width = (screen.width - 193);
}
});

Not sure, but don't you need the units, px, there?

In css you can just write the number without the units which I don't personally do although it can be done, now with javascript im not 100% sure about needing the units but im guessing as it's using styling commands that it would be the same as the css parser.

Hey, we're good now. It was the pixels, didn't even think about it since it was working before that. But I guess it makes sense since I was assigning a DOCTYPE to it, the CSS had to be prefect.

More of a CSS thing than a javascript thing, Thanks guys.
