The javascript works fine. At temp2 there is a doctype, and the exact same code doesn't work. Tried comments before the doctype, but that didn't fix the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the url's in the details section 2. Press the button at both sites 3. Notice how the code works @ temp, but not @ temp2 Actual Results: Without doctype the javascript works, with doctype html 4.01 it doesn't. Expected Results: Moved the two divs Default theme. Bug in 1.0 / 1.0.1 / 1.0.2 maybe earlier

Attachment #180221 - Attachment description: working file → not working file
The doctype controls whether or not the page gets rendered using quirks mode, so that is the reason there is a different behavior. Whether or not this is a bug, I don't know. Could you attach a _reduced_ test case that shows what works and what doesn't?
Attached file small testcase
Small testcase with one direction. Outcomment doctype for working page.
Attachment #180221 - Attachment is obsolete: true
When you use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> you will need to define the units of the position, eg: document.getElementById('object').style.left= variable + "px"; works fine I have no idea if this is intended bahaviour.
yes, in standards compliance mode the units are required. --> INVALID
