<DIV>tag in netscape? but works in IE (see code)

D E

Here is the problem. The following script/html code works in IE, not
Netscape. The javascript portion produces the text to be dynamically written
in the
<A HREF="">HEREHER EHERE</A> portion...
The HEREHEREHEREHER E writes fine in internet explorer, but does not appear
at all in Netscape 7.1. I think it might have something to do with layers...
How do I correct this? Thanks.

No need for a nested table here. You just make the markup code more
complex, longer to parse, load and render.
<TR>
<TD CLASS="centerTD "><A HREF="index2.ht ml"><DIV
ID="Enter"></DIV>
Improper nesting. You can not have a block-level element within an
inline element.

<a href="index2.ht ml" id="idLangStrin g"></a>

and then

document.getEle mentById("idLan gString").child Nodes[0].nodeValue =
langString;

will work again in will work in MSIE 5+, NS 6.2, NS 7.x, Mozilla-based
browsers, Konqueror 3.x, Safari 1.x, etc.. and in other W3C compliant
browsers.

You have many web design and markup syntax problems to deal with in that
code. None of your tables seems justified since you don't have tabular
data to render in the first place.

//produces a random number between 1 and 8
intInt = Math.round(Math .random() * 7 + 1);

In addition to the other problems that have been
pointed out, this line returns 1 and 8 only half
as often as any of the other values.
The correct code is:

intInt = Math.floor(Math .random()*8+1);

Quite right, a simple check would demonstrate this.

It would be useful to refer to the FAQ. Your answer of course covers
the current point; but who knows what else the OP might learn from
reading the FAQ? BTW, your solution does not address the bug in Opera.

The OP cross-posted excessively; therefore I do not see more than his
header, nor that of DU's reply. Cross-posting to more than two or three
groups can diminish readership.

<FAQENTRY> In section 4.22, "between" should be "in the range" or
similar. Between 1 & 3 there is only 2.

I had intended to point to the FAQ. That was an oversight.
I'm torn on the Opera bug, leaning towards letting it fail.
Of course, nobody who uses my production code uses Opera.

<div> tag.innerHTML with table content not working

Adding <div> tag programatically

Hi All, I would like to add the <div> tag programatically from the code-behind of my aspx file. Basically, I would like to a table to this <div>.

The reason that I can't have the <div> tags in aspx is that the number of the tables is unknown until runtime and each table should go into its own <div> tag. How is this...
