Dynamic javascript not working in IE

[KhalidAn]

My dynamic JS not working in IE. It is keep failing on line
newElem.innerHTML = theScript;
where theScript=alert('Hello'); which I get back from my AJAX call.
I had to go with the following workaround because javascript passed with AJAX contents was not working. Now following works ok in netscape but fails in IE.



function LoadJS(theScript)
{
var newElem = document.createElement("script");
var elemJS = document.getElementById("dinamicJScontainer");


newElem.setAttribute("language","JavaScript1.2");
newElem.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
//IE is failing on following line.
newElem.innerHTML = theScript;
elemJS.appendChild(newElem);


};

where theScript=alert('hello');

your dynamic javascript is not working anywhere. most likely, alert('hello') is simply being called where you're setting the variable (incorrectly).

i suppose you could try [tt]theScript = [red]"[/red]alert('hello')[red]"[/red];[/tt], but I'm not sure of what you're trying to do, so I can only guess.

the alert('hello'); is string so it is enclosed with "". Here is how I call LoadJS function.

var scriptEle = document.getElementById('scriptFromAjax')
if(scriptEle!=null){
LoadJS(scriptEle.innerHTML);
}

where scriptFromAjax is following.
<script id="scriptFromAjax">
alert('hello');
</script>

Perhaps this thread will help you out. I somehow got a star for the post, I guess the OP felt bad after he abandoned the thread *shrug*
