javascript from Ajax 1

[WebRic]

Hi,

Is this possible?

I use Ajax call to a page.

Within the called page I create some html which also contains a javascript element with a standard function in. I write this all into a variable escaping quotes and loop over it so there is about 50 characters per line.

var myNewContent = " "
myNewContent += "blah"

I then write this to the request page using .innerHTML.

Everything works fine, apart from the javascript written to the innerHTML doesn't seem to work...

Any ideas why?

Use instead the .insertAdjacentHTML method. It is ie-proprietary. To make it cross-browser (ie/moz/ff), add a header script section defining the prototype.

HTMLElement.prototype.insertAdjacentHTML = function (where,htmlStr)
{
var r = this.ownerDocument.createRange();
r.setStartBefore(this);
var parsedHTML = r.createContextualFragment(htmlStr);
this.insertAdjacentElement(where,parsedHTML);
}
</script>
