JavaScript JavaScript Foundations Variables Basics

Since the style property is repeated in the background and color assignments, can it be added to the myDiv var?

Can we code the script as follows?

var myDiv = document.getElementByID("myDiv").style;

myDiv.background = #000; myDiv.color = #fff;

Does JavaScript have a "with" keyword like Visual Basic? E.g.

With myObject .property1 = value x = .methodA() .property2 = value

End With

You can do this:

var myDiv = document.getElementByID("myDiv").style;

myDiv.background = #000; 

myDiv.color = #fff;

The with statement exists but is considered dangerous
