DIV innerHTML

[Horus_Kol]

I am trying to make a dynamic form using javascript.

If an option is selected, a list of sub-options can appear.

I have tried using the following code to change the contents of a div element:


div_id.innerhtml = "new text and elements";


But this doesn't update the page - why?

Cheers,

Hi,

Can't really tell with the code you supplied. However:

1) did you change the div's visibility? document.getElementById(divID).style.visibility = 'show';
(for 'newer' browsers only)

2) does 'div_id' include the complete DOM (see above)

If interested, see 'dHTML: an Introduction', a script/tutorial at my site (GrassBlade)

Javascript/DHTML is case-sensitive.

Try:

div_id.innerHTML = "new text and elements";

got so used to using ALL lowercase when I program that i didn't realise some things dont like it.

Yeah - Don't get me started on case-sensitivity.
I could KILL the idiot who first implemented it!
