CSS and JavaScript

Does anyone know of a way in which you can embed Javascript within a CSS file?

Why would you want to? Why not just put it in the HTML? What's your goal?

You can't.

lol directly to the point

well you kinda can for IE, but it's a waste of time as it will only work on IE. Maybe if you give us more information on what you are trying to acheive, we might be able to give you a better solution.

because im trying to set the top: property of a layer that is based on the size of another div that is dynamic. I take advantage of the DOM to reference this, but obviously i have to place this code outside of the stylesheet, which kills a lot of the benefits of CSS-P

"Layer"? What the fleck is a "layer"? All this dreamweaverspeak is giving me shivers...

~spasm spasm~

I remember trying to use javascript to do:


If I remember correctly, it worked.

I am guessing that you are trying to do some silly feature for no reason, though. How would this help your Web site?

When you say " based on the size of another div" do you mean you want it sitting underneath the other div, regardless of the amount of content in the other div? That is what it sounds like to me, but forgive me if I'm wrong. In which case the best way to go is to stop using absolute positioning. It really is quite limiting. Floating is a much better option.

Alternatively, you could try a container with padding-bottom of x pixcels and then use the bottom property (rather than top) for positioning the div. X pixcels would be the height of the lower div.

As for using javascript in a page layout. NO! It means that your page will break for 10% of users. Or maybe just 5%. Either way that is a significant proportion that should not be ignored. Ther is almost certainly a way to do what you want without javascript.
