Attribute selectors, JavaScript and IE8

Question

I\'m attempting to use attribute selectors and CSS for formatting elements.

The HTML looks like:

User Name         


        
      

Answer 1

You are setting the attribute to JavaScript true and false, not string "true" and "false". This could be interpreted by the browser as 1 and 0 and lead to unwanted results.

Can you try

node.setAttribute('highlight', 'true');

?
