Hi

I have a link, which triggers a script, but when the link is clicked, i want it to get a border around it... currently tried using

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. onclick="this.style.borderWidth = 1px"

but no luck,

maybe you not getting the current reference in this.
Did you tried like below-
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. document.getElementById('elem_id').style.border-width = '1px';

of course, thats because your border doesn't have a color for you to see it, you sould set the bordercolor also. Or assign a previously defined class instead. it keeps things cleaner.
