Lightbulb JavaScript working in IE but not in Firefox
Hello, I decided to begin learning some JS so my level is 'beginner', and now I faced a strange problem: my script works in IE (even if it first asks me to allow it) but it doesn't in firefox. Here is the script.
HTML Code:
<html>

<head>
<style type='text/css'>
TH {text-align:right};SPAN {vertical-align:bottom};
</style>
<script language='JavaScript'>
var fifteenth = new Date();var sixteenth = 6;var seventeenth = 3;
function eighteenth() {	with(document.all) {		nineteenth.style.setExpression('width','fifteenth.getHours() * sixteenth * seventeenth','jscript');		twentieth.setExpression('innerHTML','fifteenth.getHours()','jscript');		first2.style.setExpression('width','fifteenth.getMinutes() * sixteenth','jscript');		second2.setExpression('innerHTML','fifteenth.getMinutes()','jscript');		third2.style.setExpression('width','fifteenth.getSeconds() * sixteenth','jscript');		fourth2.setExpression('innerHTML','fifteenth.getSeconds()','jscript')    }		fifth2();}
function fifth2() {	fifteenth = new Date();	document.recalc();	setTimeout('fifth2()',1000);}window.onload=eighteenth;
</script>



<title></title>

</head>

<body>


<TABLE BORDER=0><TR>	<TH>Hours:</TH>	<TD>
<SPAN ID='nineteenth' STYLE='background-color:red'></SPAN>&nbsp;
<SPAN ID='twentieth'></SPAN></TD></TR><TR>
<TH>Minutes:</TH>	<TD>
<SPAN ID='first2' STYLE='background-color:yellow'></SPAN>&nbsp;
<SPAN ID='second2'></SPAN></TD></TR><TR>
<TH>Seconds:</TH>	<TD>
<SPAN ID='third2' STYLE='background-color:#00FF40'></SPAN>&nbsp;
<SPAN ID='fourth2'></SPAN></TD></TR></TABLE>
</body>

</html>
If I'm right firefox did not accept this: STYLE='background-color:red'
I got to this conclusion because I did some tests with the lines that have 'STYLE' (but I first deleted everything else to make sure it is not affected by the JScript) and IE accepts them but firefox does not show any colored areas at all.

Default Re: JavaScript working in IE but not in Firefox
in firefox chose "preferences" then "web settings" and there you can enable javascript aswell as java.
and javascript isnt the same as java which is a high level programming language.

I get the following errors:
nineteenth.style.setExpression is not a function
Non-standard document.all property was used. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.

One way to get around some of the incompatibilities between browsers (and make writing code easier) is to use a library like iQuery. While you might want to use document.all in IE, but document.getElementById() in FireFox, jQuery will work out for you which to use - you just use a single jquery function and your code works on different browsers.

Try fireBug. You can debug your scripts. The Web Developer toolbar might come in handy, too.
