problem with JavaScript in IE

[VAXman-]

I have been trying to copy a DIV in an IFRAME to the TOP DOCUMENT.

The code does the following

iframeDIV = document.getElementById('div_in_iframe');

var clonedDIV = iframeDIV.cloneNode(true);
It then sets various attributes of clonedDIV.

The last thing it does is:

top.document.body.appendChild(clonedDIV);
This works in FF and Safari but it fails in IE. IE doesn't seem to
like the last statement. Why?

if (nodes[j].outerHTML.indexOf('IFRAME') == -1){

control = nodes[j].cloneNode(true);

}

else {

control = nodes[j].cloneNode(false);

control.insertAdjacentHTML('afterBegin', nodes[j].innerHTML);

}

Could you explain this code you've provided and how I would insert it
in place of the top.document.body.appendChild(clonedDIV); in my code.

BTW, I found that using parent instead of top made M$IE happier. I no
longer get M$IE coughing up an error on the

parent.document.body.appendChild(clonedDIV);

but it still doesn't display the clonedDIV.

Given that a good many browsers don't support IE's proprietary
outerHTML property, test for support before attempting to use it.

The same for insertAdjacentHTML.

Nevermind. I figured it out. Stupid typo when I went to follow the
suggested code. Strangely, I'd looked many of the things referenced
but decided code up the page and then go back later for M$IE support.
