HTML tags

[Gunslinger08]

Are there any HTML tags which have a text attribute? I'm trying to use javascript to dynamically load text into a portion of a page, and I need a tag which I can find by it's ID and set the text of.

Just set an id for a tag (usually divs) and use the innerHTML property to write text into the div.

Yep, I actually just found that as well. It works great in IE, but doesn't seem like it's working in Firefox. Could just be my install that's hosed.

Try using a plain DIV and setting its innerHTML to the text you're loading in (through an XMLHTTPRequest object I presume).

How about this?

document.getElementById("yourElementsID").innerHTML = "whatever text you want";
