setting width of select (IE problem)

Hi,

I am creating Html element select and setting its width using javascript
But

For Mozila
var newlistOperation = document.createElement("select");
newlistOperation.setAttribute("style", "width:191px");
works.

For IE
var newlistOperation = document.createElement("select");
newlistOperation.setAttribute("width", "191px");
works

I do not want to check browser type and then set width accordingly.

How can I set width of select element so that it works for both IE as well as Mozila



Thanks
waiting for your response.

 

Why not:

var newlistOperation = document.createElement("select");
newlistOperation.setAttribute("style", "width:191px");
newlistOperation.setAttribute("width", "191px");

Code (javascript):

Mozilla will ignore the IE attribute, and IE will ignore the mozilla attribute. So simply calling both should do the trick.
