Margin-left not working in IE8 in DOJO

Question

I'm using dojo 1.8 and I'm trying to set a Margin left to a div node but it's not rendering it in IE8.

Here's what I have:

dojo.create("div", {"class": "something", style: "margin-left:100px;"}, this.something);

Can someone help me out please?

Answer 1

dojo.create() is deprecated in Dojo 1.8 . You should use dojo/dom-construct::create() instead.

You also need to make your style attribute an object:

domConstruct.create("div", { style: { "margin-left": "100px" }, "class": "something" }, this.something);

Another approach would be to delegate applying your styles and class(es) to dom-style and dom-class , respectively:

var myNode = domConstruct.create("div", null, this.something);
domStyle.set(myNode, "margin-left", "100px");
domClass.add(myNode, "something");
