problem with replaceChild

Hi,

I'm facing problem after doing replaceChild for a DOCUMENT ELEMENT.

Sample code:

elem = document.getEle mentById( "myEle" );
var newVal;
newVal = document.create Element('textbo x');
newVal.setAttri bute( "id", "myEle" );
newVal.setAttri bute( "value", "myValue" );
newVal.appendCh ild(document.cr eateTextNode('D isplaying Textbox'));
intAction.paren tNode.replaceCh ild( newVal, elem );

after this, i'm trying to get the element again by
elem = document.getEle mentById( "myEle" );

But it returns NULL.
Please help.

^^^^^^^
What kind of document are you trying to script? HTML has textarea but
not textbox.

I want to create dynamic content and use replaceChild to switch out different subtrees. I start with a span placeholder: <span id="replaceMe"></span> Then I use document.getElementById ("replaceMe") to find the element to replace. I create a subtree using standard DOM: var table = document.createElement ("table"); table.insertRow ();

Why does the FAQ (Q 4.15) recommend innerHTML when so many here say one should use createElement(), replaceChild() etc? Also, why does the "Alternative DynWrite function" at <http://www.jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/alt_dynwrite.html> need such a lot of tests to find out if innerHTML assignment actually works, instead of just inserting <span id="strange name"></span> and checking if the document now contains an element with that ID?
