Writing to a DIV 1

[yahve]

Hi,

I'm trying to rewrite the content of a DIV live. No problem with IE as I use innerText or innerHTML. Under NS4, what would be the prefered way to do this. Can I use the ID attribute of the DIV or do I need to use a NAME attribute.
I would prefer not to use the SRC attribute of the DIV since I do not want the page to refresh when the content changes.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you both. Can I assume that both methods are equivalent. Does that mean that for NS4+ I can write to <DIV ID=&quot;thisdiv&quot;> like so:
thisdiv.document.write(&quot;text&quot;

Thanks

I don't think so, think you'd have to use:

<DIV name=&quot;thisdiv&quot;></div>
document.layers.thisdiv.document.write(&quot;text&quot;

I'm not positive, but I believe you can reference layers directly by name. Give it a try and see if it works or not. If not, like Jared suggested, reference the name out of the layers object in NS and the all object in IE -- also, you could do this: if (!document.all) {document.all = document.layers;}. That would let you use document.all.thisdiv in both IE and NS.
