Dissapearing Images and outerHTML

[msimmons]

I am using asp to build a table via info pulled from a database then I am using outerHTML to overwrite the table from a hidden fram to reflet the new data. Occasionaly my images that are in the cells of this table dissapear (the code is there but they dont display). Has anyone had a problem with this or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I've had a similar problem using with this sort of thing when using netscape...sometimes it just doesn't display all the images. If its in Internet Explorer then its new to me...

it seems others have had this problem also. I found this at google. It has a solution but I was not able to figure it out.

Yeah, at least according to that microso$t guy its a known bug.

Try using a combination of insertAdjacentHTML, innerHTML & outerHTML until you can force a refresh.

I tried doubling my outerHTML statement and that didnt work. And I coulden't get the MS guy's insert adjacent to work at all (due to being jscript?).

JScript and Javascript are very similar though. It should work with Javascript... try reading the docs for it http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...jacenthtml.asp

jscript/javascript is not my stong point and I am having a problem with it.
I am getting the error:
Invalid target element for this operation

parent.frames[0].document.all.roomratetable.outerHTML = '<table id="roomratetable"><tr><td>test</td></tr></table>';
parent.frames[0].document.all.roomratetable.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<img id="imghack" style="display:none" src="dot.gif" height="1" width="1">');

my string that inserts the table is much longer than that so for the boards sake i cut it down
thanks

try changing it to

parent.frames[0].document.all("roomratetable").outerHTML
or if you are using IE 5+/NS6 use
parent.frames[0].document.getElementById("roomratetable").outerHTML.

If that still doesn't work try putting parent.frames[0].focus() before the code. Javascript is strange when it comes to Frames at times.

sorry, forgot to specify, the outerHTML is fine... its the insertAdjacentHTML that is getting the error
