[Javascript] innerHTML

innerHTMLIts DHTML

it allows you to change your html code after it has been loaded using javascript. e.g. you can change the text displayed on your page when the user onmouseovers a link.... very cool.

If you want to get really fancy you can write very complicated functionality using innerHTML.... I've just written something that behaves just like Windows Explorer with expanding folders etc.

have fun with it

  Can somebody please elaborate a little on "innerHTML". I have heard it mentioned at various places. What does it do exactly? Is it part of JavaScript, CSS, or what? Will appreciate a short summary or some good links on the topic.

  Thanks in advance,
