How To Target DIV's?

Robert Nurse

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to target a <DIV...>. I want to put an HTML form
in a DIV. When it's submitted, the results should show up within that
same DIV. Possible?

Thanks.

You mean, to treat a DIV like a frame? You can't, unless you're using
proprietary IE-only programming using an HTTPRequest object that sends
the form data behind the scenes and then uses DOM to rewrite the
contents of the DIV. If you want to do that, an IE-related form would
be a better place to ask details.

Perhaps. You might try <iframe>, but note that support is not as good
as it could be. Anyways, <iframe> bring up their own set of problems,
so you may want to recreate the whole page in a server side script,
replacing the <div><form>etc.</form></div> with <div>data submitted by
form</div>.

This application is for internal use only and IE is the official
browser. So, this will work for me. Could you direct me to some
online documentation on how to program this up? The only place I've
seen the HTTPRequest object is in Java servlets. "... behind the
scenes" sounds like VBScript. I've also been recently immersed into
VBScript.

So, you posted to a www authoring group on an intranet situation, and
didn't think to mention that?

self {bang: head; object: wall;}

In other words, your question is off-topic for this group, which is
about authoring for the *www*, not for an IE only intranet. You might
have mentioned this upfront, and gotten more useful answers.

(I still think recreating the page with the form submission replacing
the form markup is the best option.)

That's clearly structure of ActionML 0.666, not presentation. You should
be using
<action><type>bang</type><object>head</object><object>wall</object></action>.

Well, I put it in CSS as it really wasn't necessary, it was kinda obvious
from the text alone what was going on... Totally presentational expression
of the text.
