Strange, that strange bug has never occured to me, and now two different
people seem to post about it in two different newsgroups at about the
same time.
I have just suggested to use
function changeLink (link, newHref) {
var oldInnerText = link.innerText;
link.href = newHref;
if (link.innerText != oldInnerText) {
link.innerText = oldInnerText;
}
}
as a workaround for that IE problem, so
changeLink (selectObject,
"/2004/US/South/02/11/elderly.robber.ap/index.html");
should help
