I have this JavaScript function:

function Test(isValid) {    

    var divStart = $get('divDateFrom');

    var divEnd = $get('divDateTo');

    var txtStartDate = divStart.firstChild;

    var txtEndDate = divEnd.firstChild;

    var isValidFromForecastStartDate;

    txtEndDate.setAttribute('dateInRegionalFormat', txtEndDate.value);

}

This function is working fine in IE but I'm getting txtEndDate.setattribute is not a function error in Firefox and Chrome.

Use jquery.attr() like,

$(txtEndDate).attr('dateInRegionalFormat', txtEndDate.value);

Updated there may be multiple elements so use [0] for the first element like,

txtEndDate[0].setAttribute('dateInRegionalFormat', txtEndDate.value);

You should first check whether the elements exists or not before setting attribute in it like,

if(txtEndDate.length)

{

   txtEndDate.setAttribute('dateInRegionalFormat', txtEndDate.value);

}
