cross-browser method or property for get/set style in js
no code I have seen works cross browser. we need a standard/recommendation.
for example from now on, using BOTH
document.getElementById(id).style.display="none";
and
document.getElementById(id).style["display"]="none";
or using at least the 2nd, which is more conducive to generic programming.
