Some days ago I had a look in some Visual Basic source code and found the WITH statement there. I was thinking about how I can use this in JavaScript code. Below you will find a very simple script that allows you to use the With method (that will reduce your source code size of JavaScript files):
<html><body>
<style> .myclassname {font-family:arial;} </style>
<div id="test">My dummy text.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function With(o, p) { for(var prop in p) { o[prop] = p[prop]; } }
var ele = document.getElementById("test");
With(ele.style, { color:"red", fontSize:"12px", backgroundColor:"yellow" });
With(ele, { className:"myclassname" });
</script>
</body></html>
