Escaping hyphen on javascript's getElementbyId

I want to pass -webkit-background-clip property with javascript.

Because of the hyphen at start, I cant seem to get it right. Tried it with [, ", ' etc. How do I escape dash?

document.getElementById("menu").style.-webkit-background-clip = "text";

You can use bracket notation...

document.getElementById("menu").style["-webkit-background-clip"]

...or use camel case...

document.getElementById("menu").style.webkitBackgroundClip

jsFiddle.

Note that JavaScript resolves these to different names, but the browser supports both.
