InnerText or innerHTML

[yahve]

Hi,

I have a script which refreshes the content of a div like so:

document.getElementById(divRightTop).innerHTML = "whatever";

It works in IE, but I can't get it to work in NS. What would I need to change? Is it better to use innerText or innerHTML?

Thanks and may 2001 bring you love, health and prosperity.

if you are only inserting text, just use innerText, for performance reasons. NS4.x and lower do not support an innerHTML or innerText property, you have to access it something like this:

document.layers.layername.document.write('stuff')

to write new content to it, and that only works on absolutely positioned elements... jared@aauser.com

You can also set the document.layers.layername.src property to the location of the stuff you want to go in there.
