dynamically modify text 2

werjocks · Mar 22, 2005

Im trying to modify text and links on a page without reposting to the server. I've been trying to use innertext to change a paragraph element with some success, but the links dont evaluate as html elements. Is there a good way to achieve this?

Example code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changetext()
{
document.getElementById('avar').innerText="More stuff <a href=\"

http://www.alink2.com\">Link2</a>"

}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<p id="avar">Some stuff <a href="

http://www.alink.com">Link1</a></p>

have you tried

Code:

var p = document.getElementById('avar');
var new = "More stuff <a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.aLink2.com/'>Link2</a>";[/URL]
p.inner[red]HTML[/red] = new;
