innerHtml tips for a newbie

[TWillard]

I am working on an innerHtml script, but I am having problems in fine tuning and debugging. Can anyone share some debugging tips for innerHtml and DHTML.

I generally have a fairly good eye for detail. Therefore when debugging my standard HTML, I will often perform a view > source to see the HTML that is being served up by the HTTP server. When I do a view source immediately after some innerHTML has been written by a script, then I can not see the code that I feel should have been written. Am I dead wrong or am I missing something here?

The following javascript alert will throw a not defined error.

<script>
alert('html is: ' + document.getElementById(id).innerHTML);
</script>

it's quite possible the version of browser doesn't support what you are attempting to do...or the DOM reference you create isn't correct for the certain browser...

below is a thread that deals with some DOM issues...
