I want to update a layer without reloading the page.

I have previously recieved this function, but it only works with Netscape.

How can I make it work for IE?

function print_picture(picture) {
with(document.layers['myLayer']) {
document.open();
document.write('<img src=&quot;'+picture+'&quot;>');
document.close();
}
}

depending on how your page is set up, I might suggest different things. what about showing us your html code? --------------------------------------------------

Yep, Chris, that's why I asked her for the html to see what she's got to work with IE. --------------------------------------------------

Oops, sorry for being to short.
I want to print it to the <div>-tag...

This is the html code:

<html>
<title>Swap Images</title>
<head>
<script>
function print_picture(picture) {
with(document.layers['myLayer']) {
document.open();
document.write('<img src=&quot;'+picture+'&quot;>');
document.close();
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href=&quot;javascript:print_picture('picture1.gif')&quot;>Picture1</a>
<a href=&quot;javascript:print_picture('picture2.gif')&quot;>Picture2</a>

<div id=&quot;myLayer&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; left:64px; top:54px; width:200px; height:165px&quot;>
</div>

</body>
</html>

in IE, you set
Code: 
document.all.myLayer.innerHTML
to be a string using the &quot;=&quot; operator. It is much faster and easier (not to mention, more dynamic) than Netscape's methods.

Code: 
document.all.myLayer.innerHTML='<img src=&quot;'+picture+'&quot;>';
