Say i want to write some html into a <div>, and i want to include some <span>s inside this <div>. I then want to edit the content of the <span> tags later on. The <div> starts empty at page load, and then it is filled based on some variables.

Doesnt work when i try something like this...

spanid.innerHTML=...
OR
document.getElementsById('spanid').innerHTML=...

It says there is no element with that ID.

Is there a way to work this other than rewriting the whole <div>?

Peace.

I think you need to use createElement() to create your span, then use appendChild() to stick it inside your div.

Interesting!

Managed to get a new window with a div that can be editted by the main window.

Impressive. Web development has become much less design and much more coding in the past year. I'm trying to keep up. I'm in the middle of the 1000 page XML bible.
