Setting innerHTML

[Chris Moltisanti]

Hey,

I have a DIV and I want to dynamically set its innerHTML. I know I can
set it by doing the following myDiv.innerHTML = '<img
src=\"myImage.g if\">'
However, the html that I want to set in it is quite large so I dont
want to have to hard code the HTML like I just did.
My question is....is it possible to assign an existing html page to the
innerHTML.
e.g. myDiv.innerHTML = 'mytest.html'
So that the contents of the mytest.html would be set in myDiv's
innerHTML.

Thanks,

Chris

any at all.

You should read the newsgroup FAQ.

comp.lang.javas cript FAQ - 8.1 - 2005-11-05
Section 2.3, paragraph 7, which cites paragraph 6, refers.

I did, and the version at <URL: http://jibbering.com/faq/> that I get is :

comp.lang.java script FAQ - 8.0 - 2004-03-15

Which is obviously wrong but it is the same version that anybody else
would get unless a URL to a post of it in the archives is given instead.
I got tired of messing with Google Groups to try to find a URL to the
last FAQ Poster posted FAQ article. Does anybody have one?

You can see the HTML version, less CSS, HTML *possibly* edited a bit, at
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demo n.co.uk/$clj-faq.htm> but I don't intend to
keep a version there for more than a day or so. It's a copy of what I
saved for reference.

I would not have kept the last posted version; alas, I omitted to keep
the first posted one in my newsbase - it would have had a message-ID.
Its header should have included one of
Subject: comp.lang.javas cript FAQ - Quick Answers- 8.1 - 2005-11-05
Subject: comp.lang.javas cript FAQ - Quick Answers - 8.1 - 2005-11-05
which may help finding it.

A search for part of the paragraph of my previous article :-
<If posting through groups.google.c om don't use the "Reply" link at
the bottom of the article, instead use "Show Options" at the top of the
article and than click the "Reply" option exposed there. This
automatically includes the quote of the preceding message to be edited
down as described above.>
might work.

Yikes what a URL, but that is the newest one Google finds for it.
That is not the HTML version but it's better than the version found on
jibbering for me right now.

I put your HTML version - along with the CSS file - here:

You should read the newsgroup FAQ.

As an alternative to the long and overwhelming newsgroup FAQ, I created the
"Newbie FAQ":
http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/clj/

This is my attempt to provide useful information (including a link to the
newsgroup FAQ) to newbie users who often make posting mistakes or aren't
familiar with the group.

For example, if someone replies incorrectly with google groups you can
simply direct them to:
http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/clj/#howtoreply

Or if someone posts a question and doesn't provide enough useful information
or a minimal test case, you can point them to:
http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/clj/#getanswers

etc. I'm not sure if people will find it useful or use it, but it exists :)
