(html, javascript, & IE) Problem drawing images with outerHTML

[msimmons]

I am having a problem drawing images with outerHTML. Apperantly this is a known issue with IE but this is all I could find on the subject:
Google Groups: Missing Images
I coulden't make sense of the workaround they suggested nor make it work.
Basicly I have a number of items but I do not know how many at design time (and the number changes through out the session) so I am bulding a table (yes, it is tabular data) dynamicly from a hidden frame and outerHTML'ing it to the main form. At first the images will not show until you do something else that will cause the screen to redraw (this is a non-refreshing site).

any help will be greatly appreciated,
Michael

I'm so good
OK here is what I did to fix it. on the main form I added an empty div with a z-index of -1. Then I wrote a html page with this inside:

parent.frames[0].document.getElementById('IEimageWorkaround').style.background = '#ffffff';
parent.frames[0].document.getElementById('IEimageWorkaround').style.background = '';

so I run the script that builds the item list table and outerHTML's it, then I location.href to the workaround page and it works now!

(I am getting a javascript "object required" error though on that first line)
