How to set div width using ng-style

angularjs, css, ng-style

Solution

The syntax of `ng-style` is not quite that. It accepts a dictionary of keys (attribute names) and values (the value they should take, an empty string unsets them) rather than only a string. I think what you want is this:

<div ng-style="{ 'width' : width, 'background' : bgColor }"></div>

And then in your controller:

$scope.width = '900px';
$scope.bgColor = 'red';

This preserves the separation of template and the controller: the controller holds the semantic values while the template maps them to the correct attribute name.

Problem

I am trying to set the div width dynamically using `ng-style` but it is not applying the style. Here is the code: ``` <div style="width: 100%;" id="container_fform" ng-controller="custController"> <div style="width: 250px;overflow: scroll;"> <div ng-style="myStyle">&nbsp;</div> </div> </div> ``` Controller: ``` var MyApp = angular.module('MyApp', []); var custController = MyApp.controller('custController', function ($scope) { $scope.myStyle="width:'900px';background:red"; }); ``` What am I missing?
