I want to replace the innerHTML of a DIV tag. This works great in IE but I need it to work in netscape too....

The DIV has an ID...

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <script language="JavaScript"><!--
	if(navigator.appName=='Netscape')
	{
	alert('Use a proper browser you fool!')
	}
//--></script>
  </head>
  <body>

  </body>
</html>

innerHTML works in netscape 6 but not 4

Code:

document.getElementById("objectid").innerHTML='newdata';

Try this cross browser code that I use.

Code:

function writeText(objectID,txt){
  if (document.getElementById){
    document.getElementById(objectID).innerHTML=txt;
  }else if (document.all){
    document.all(objectID).innerHTML=txt;
  }else if (document.layers){
    document.layers[objectID].document.open();
    document.layers[objectID].document.write(txt);
    document.layers[objectID].document.close();
  }
}

Call it like this...

Code:

writeText('div1','This is some text.  Ill be written to the object div1');
