DOM get Element Content

[bilibytes]

Hi,

I am trying to get the content of an element and reuse it elsewhere in the script

lets say i have:

<div id="content">
   <ul name="subcontainer">
      <li name="header"><h3>Title</h3><h4>Text here...</h4></li>
      <li name="image"><img class="foto" src="3396/2.jpg"/></li>
      <li name="listcontent">Text Here...</li>
      <ol name="language">
         <li><img src="/images/es.gif" alt="es"/></li>
      </ol>
   </ul>
   <ul name="subcontainer">
      <li name="header"><h3>Title</h3><h4>Text here...</h4></li>
      <li name="image"><img class="foto" src="3396/2.jpg"/></li>
      <li name="listcontent">Text Here...</li>
      <ol name="language">
         <li><img src="/images/es.gif" alt="es"/></li>
      </ol>
   </ul>
<div>
 

Ok so what i want to do, is tu reuse the code contained into the Element named "subcontainer".
The point is that there are multiple of those. I am able to target the one that i need (in fact, it is the one that the user clicks on).
Once i have the <ul> element under a variable (named: selectedNode), i would like to be able to somwhere say:

[HTML]document.getElementById("content").innerHTML.selec tedNode;[/HTML]

The problem is that this will return an object, and will not print the content of the node, as i want it to do.

My question is,
Is there a way to access the selectedNode's content, assuming that the content is compound by multiple nodes and different levels of nodes?

thankyou very much

[zaphod42]

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML.selectedNode;

should be

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = selectedNode;

[bilibytes]

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML.selectedNode;

should be

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = selectedNode;

Yes you are right, and it is this way in my script, i miscopied this bunch of code, but this is not the problem,
with the code you wrote, it will return[ListTypeObject] and what I need is to reuse the list with all its contents in another part of the script.

I don't know if i have to parse the whole list creating variables with each node or if there is a shortcut that would allow me to take all the list content and do:

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = selectedNode;

Thanks any way

it was appendChild!

document.getElementById("content").appendChild(selectedNode);
