What happens when you do the conventional c-slash escaping: var theTextofStyle = document.createTextNode('v\\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }')  ? |

Yes, I do. But just a year ago I would stay silent as it was the biggest capitalization for myself out of simply reading producer specs   Now the retaining period is over. I am not saying thatI'm the only one who can read MSDN, but in this particular case it seemed so for all the time of my interest. First get rid of all this stuff you posted. Now: // missing namespaces return null if (document.namespaces.item('v') == null) { // then adding the required namespace/behavior combo: document.namespaces.add('v', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml', '#default#VML'); } // now you can draw whatever you want using VML The page itself stays "clean" in the sense that you don't add any IE- specific attributes into <html> or <style> |

It gives me an error of "Object doesn't support this property or method" |

I think I found a solution. There's an "IE specific"
createStyleSheet() function that was added in version 6. It's working a treat. http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/a...stylesheet.asp Thanks for your replies anyway guys. |
