Changing the style if the browser is IE

[lAZLf]

So for my website I have one style attribute for a div that changes whether or not the user is using ie or something else

#dropdown {
display:inline-block;
margin:0px;
width:110px;
*display: inline;
}

 

the * means it will only work in ie. So that fine, but now i need to be able to do that, change it if its in ie, through javascript.

how would i do that?

 

something like this?

document.getElementByID(id).style.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?

Why do you have to do this with JavaScript?

 

Why not use the IE comment-hacks to include a small CSS file with changes for IE?

 

Or why not define a special class in your CSS with these attributes and just add or remove the class to the div element with JavaScript?
