RE: im n00b
not knowing much about javascript but:

document.getElementById('a').style.width="300px";

should be

document.getElementById('a').innerHTML = "width='300px';";


Im not sure if this will work:

But if I ever use GetElementById()

I always use " " insteas of ' '

It works for me if I move the <script> block below the divs, or put it in the <head> and execute it onload.

try putting it in a function, then calling the funciton:

<script>width();</script>

or try putting in the body tag: onload="width();"

e.g: <body onload="alert('example, you could use your innerHTML stuff instead of this alert.')">

;)

Because the JS is excecuted when the parser gets to that node, at which point the DIVs don't exist, because the page hasn't loaded fully. Therefore when the JS is excecuted the DIVs can't be found, but when the script node is below the DIVs then they do exist.
You can have the JS above the divs by using onload like Nathen said.

nonononono way!
The first one is right, the second one will set the contents of the a div to "width='300px';", and wont change the width :P
innerHTML basically lets you access and change all the html within the node.

It doesn't work because the script gets executed before the divs are created :rolleyes:.
