<H2> Would you like to bounce an instance or application?</H2>
<form name="dropDown" method="POST">

    <select name="choiceDropDown" onchange="include()">
        <option value="1">Instance Level</option>
        <option value="2">Application Level</option>
    </select>
</form>

<div id="inst" class="outsidePages"><jsp:include page='Instance_List.htm'/></div>

<!-- END CONTAINER -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- end content -->

</td>             </tr>         </table>     </div> </div>

<div id="footerWrapper">     <div id="footer">Footer content goes here</div> </div>

</body>

<script type="text/javascript"> function include() {     var container = document.getElementById("inst");          container.innerHTML = "";

    container.innerHTML = " <jsp:include page='Home.htm'/>  ";

    }
</script>
</html>

So for the script above what I want to do is if the drop box changes then the div “inst” should change so that it is including a different page. The problem is when I try to do this it breaks. If I make container.innerHTML = "Good morning" or anything else it works fine. Any ideas why this happens?

    Without seeing your code sample, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you want to use jQuery, specifically the .load method. It makes stuff like this ridiculously easy.

    <body>
    <a href="#" id="loadSomePage">load some page</a>
    <div id="contentArea">content goes here</div>
</body>
<script>
    $("#loadSomePage").click(function(){
        $("#contentArea").load("http://www.foo.com/content.html");
    });
</script>
