Javascript to change a single part of a page?(resolved)

[Graff]

I'm fairly new to javascript and was wondering how I could use javascript to change text in a single part of my table, as opposed to writing the whole page again with document.write.

You can use innerHTML, although it's not officially in the spec and Opera doesn't [yet] support it:

  //NAME attribute:
  document.elementName.innerHTML = '<em>This</em> is the new text, etc';

  //ID attribute:
  document.getElementById('elementId').innerHTML = '<em>This</em> is the new text, etc';

HEh, your babies will be eaten Opera 7 is supposed to be comming out at the end of the year, and it may have a fix for that. They're implementing a better DOM so they may add innerHTML.
