    Can JavaScript place HTML code into Div...?

    Hi,

    What I like to know is if it is possible to have a JavaScript writing code
    into a DIV section, that is say during load or on a certain event in the
    same page it would insert the word "hello"

    ----------------
    .......
    <script>
    function insert_hello(){
    ?????
    }
    </script>

    <body onload="insert_ hello()"....


    <div id=div1 name=div1>
    </div>
    ....

    -----------------

    ...so it would display the word "hello" in the area taken up by the <DIV
    id=div1 name=div1>
    I understand you can change attributes/properties like the value of a text
    field but what about this scenario???


    TIA,

    Tom

                  While this is true, John,
                  the OP clearly shows a to be a newbee,
                  and a complete solution would scare the OP off,
                  which is worse IMHO, than the incompliance.

                  btw: Having javascript switched off could be
                  a far more probable problem,
                  than having a innerHTML incompliant browser.

                      It is not for us to decide what the reader is allowed to know; it is for
                      the reader to decide what he needs to support, knowing that the solution
                      you gave is not universal. A reference to the FAQ achieves that
                      warning.

                      So does "Older browsers may not know getElementById; it can be provided
                      if needed by
                      if (document.all && !document.getEl ementById) {
                      document.getEle mentById = function(id) {
                      return document.all[id] } } // "

                      // (which seems OK to me, and works in IE4.)

                      Moreover, since he *is* asking about something which the FAQ answers,
                      then he should in any case be referred to the FAQ; he may very well find
                      there answers to future questions.

                          "should"?

                          I don't think so, John.

                          A straight answer is not against netiquette, even if there is a NG-FAQ.

                          I would agree on "could".

                          Undoubtedly, he may.
