Question

I am not able to replace .innerHtml for a div tag which is nested in other div tags. I used firebug to make sure that getElementById() is working.

<div class="a">
<div class="b"><a href="myUrl"><div id="hello"></div></a></div>
</div>

In javascript code I am using:

document.getElementById("hello").innerHTML = "hello world";

Using firebug, I have verified that “hello” div is picked up (that is, it is not null). But the string “hello world” is not showing up.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Answer 1

use innerHTML rather than innerHtml. note the capitalization.

On a side note, IE also supports innerText.
