setProperty is not a function(...)

When I use 

$wnd.document.getElementById('id');

It works successfully and I get the element. But, when I try to set property like this:

$wnd.document.getElementById('id').setProperty("Property","value");

It brings me error :

Uncaught TypeError: $wnd.document.getElementById(...).setProperty is not a function(…)

With what mistake in my code can it be chained?

Solution

  • It looks like you are executing this code inside a JSNI method, means it is Javascript. The method setProperty is only available for a javascript style element, and has nothing todo with the GWT method setPropertyString() or similar.

    So this: 

    elem =$wnd.document.getElementById('id');  
elem[property] = value;

    equals this:

    $wnd.document.getElementById('id').setAttribute("property","value");

    setProperty would work for Style properties like this:

    $wnd.document.getElementById('id').style.setProperty("color","blue");
