Hello again
Site I'm working on: http://www3.telus.net/bikim/lightning/test/
- 'coach' & 'main' links swap innerHTML of div element - id 'textArea'
works fine in NN7; IE6 reports 'Object doesn't support this property or method'
code is:
function showText(text)
{
var tA = document.getEle mentById('textA rea');
tA.innerHTML = text;
}
Microsoft website says getElementById and innerHTML are supported.
Maybe my function call:
<a href="javascrip t:showText(coac hText)">coach</a>
<a href="javascrip t:showText(main Text)">main</a>
Thanks

You should use an IFrame, it'll be much more accessible and easy to
maintain than Javascript code (and some people disable javascript to
avoid popups...).
But the javascript works fine for me, no errors (IE6 and Mozilla 1.4).

Thanks - I'll look at IFrames. Maybe because I don't have the service packs
installed? My box went berserk last time I tried that and I had to do a
pcrestore thing from the W98 cd to get it back.

nodeValue for such text node.

DU -- Javascript and Browser bugs: http://www10.brinkster.com/doctorunclear/
Please ignore the innerHTML vs nodeValue reference here. Your parameter
identifiers (function names, parameters, id values) are extremely
confusing. You're not passing a real TEXT_NODE to your displayText and
showText functions but markup value first converted as string to be
processed as new html nodes.
I would do things quite differently if I were you. Just a <div></div>
with display:none and with the ability to modify its text node only.
Maybe there would be more faster, efficient way to do all this... if we
knew your webpage situation, context more.

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm not using toggleText() _or_ displayText() here.
I've changed tA.innerHTML = text;
to
tA.childNodes[0].nodeValue = text;
as you suggested but it doesn't do what I want - it just displays the raw ascii
text. I'm sure you understand that but I want to display the actual rendered
page.
(I wonder if learning JS/DOM/CSS+browser inconsistencies/bugs+xml/xhtml/ad
nauseum. is more confusing than calculus?)

such a lot of tests to find out if innerHTML assignment actually
works, instead of just inserting <span id="strange name"></span>
