Can <DIV ID="XYZ"></DIV> be created in JavaScript 1

[Dragonfish]

Happy Christmas Everyone,

can I create <DIV ID=&quot;XYZ&quot;></DIV> strait out of JavaScript without haveíng to write them in the body area first. With tabe-tags that works fine:-
document.write(&quot;<Table.......>&quot;.
docoment.write(&quot;<DIV ID=&quot;XYZ&quot;></DIV>&quot; does´nt work - how naive of me! Can anyone help???

Thanks

try this...
document.write(&quot;<DIV ID=\&quot;XYZ\&quot;></DIV>&quot;

I tried it - did´nt work. I noticed I made a small error in my thread:
docoment.write(&quot;<DIV ID=&quot;XYZ&quot;></DIV>&quot;
should have been:
docoment.write(&quot;<DIV ID='XYZ'></DIV>&quot;

Can you tell me what \&quot;XYZ\&quot; should have done. I´ve ploughed through so much literature and have´nt found anything which suggests that:
docoment.write(&quot;<DIV ID='XYZ'></DIV>&quot;
might or should work of if there´s another way of writing (&quot;<DIV ID='XYZ'></DIV>&quot;

Thanks DavidinGermany

\&quot; is the escaped version of &quot; javascript will give you errors if you use nested &quot; the \&quot; gets around that. so would:
document.write(&quot;<div id='xyz'></div>&quot;

i use document.write(&quot;<div id=&quot; + variable + &quot;></div>&quot; to write mine in my dhtml pages and it works fine.

if you are trying to create this div after the page has loaded, you are going to have to use innerHTML:

document.body.innerHTML+=&quot;<div id='xyz'></div>&quot;; Robert Carpenter

about ns4x:
div - nope, layer - yup

var theOne=new Layer(width,parent)
//width - a number
//parent - none or window or ref to another layer
