Text Alignment Issue in IE9
Question
I have a input field and it has some text in it. On click of a button I want to change the text-align to center, left and right.
It works in every browser but not in IE9.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Test for Text Align</title>
<meta charset = "UTF-8" />
<style type="text/css">
#testBox{
text-align: left;
}
</style>
</head>
<div>
<input type="text" id ="testBox" name="testBox" value="testBox" maxlength="32" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" onClick="testFunction('centeralign')" name="centeralign" id="centeralign" value="centeralign"/>
<input type="button" onClick="testFunction('leftalign')" name="leftalign" id="leftalign" value="leftalign"/>
<input type="button" onClick="testFunction('rightalign')" name="rightalign" id="rightalign" value="rightalign"/>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function testFunction(el){
var testTextBox = document.getElementById("testBox");
if(el == "centeralign"){
testTextBox.style.textAlign = "center";
}else if (el == "leftalign") {
testTextBox.style.textAlign = "left";
}else if (el == "rightalign") {
testTextBox.style.textAlign = "right";
}
}
</script>

This is an odd bug in IE (at least some versions of it). It seems that the input box rendering is not updated when its style is changed via an event handler attribute. It seems to help to add the following after the definition of testTextBox :
testTextBox.value += '';
This does not modify the value, since it appends an empty string, but it seems to be sufficient for waking up IE so that it renders the input box with the changed style.
