document.getElementById('divid').innerHTML not working in windows CE explorer

I have developed a web application which uses ajax to display some result in a div.

Now this result works fine in explorer in xp or vista, but this when I run this page in windows CE IE 6.0 (ipilot 8000) this result is not displayed in the div, although when I alert the xmlHttp.responseText the result is showing there but not in the div. i am using the code

document.getElementById('divid').innerHTML=xmlHttp .responseText;

to display the result text in the div.
Let me also explain the basic working of my web application.
when the page first load the a function is called which recursively calls itself after every 20 seconds and in this function the ajax function is called which is used to display the result text in the div.
Please help me out.Thanks in advance

Hi acoder

thanks for showing interest in my query.
I cannot give the link of the my application because the application is admin panel of the working site and it will affect the monetary transaction of the application.
I can just explain you the problem.
First let me tell you that it is a perfect working application in explorer 6.0 and above in windowsXP/windows vista/fedora wherever internet explorer used.
But now we have to run the application on the device called iPilot 8000™ mobile computer which uses Windows Embedded CE and my application fails to display result on this device.
only the problem is with this particular line.

document.getElementById('divid').innerHTML=xmlHttp .responseText;

xmlHttp .responseText
contains the value whatever i want to display.when i
alert( xmlHttp .responseText);
it alerts the value.but the value is not being displayed in the div where it has to be displayed.

Help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, which version of IE are you running in Windows CE?
Mar 17 '09 #4
the engineers call it as windows ce explorer 6.0.
and one more thing i have just created a simple page where i have put alink and a text box.
and the working is that when i click the link a text "Test successful" is to be displayed in the text box.
It is working fine in normal IE/Mozila but not in windows CE explorer.
the syntext is

onClick="document.getElementById('textboxid').valu e='Test successful'";

is there any other method to display text using javascript in windows CE explorer.Also let me tell you that i am working as a software developer for the last 3 years.microsoft always frustrate the developer by there drawbacks(some or the other).
you can check the discription of the device running windows CE that i am using this link.

I haven't got a Pilot to test on, but try using a button instead of a link:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3. <form>
  4. <input type="text" id="textboxid">
  5. <input type="button" value="Test" onclick="document.getElementById('textboxid').value='Test successful'">
  6. </form>
  7. </body>
  8. </html>
