[thelist] DIV InnerHTML,JavaScript, and Forms...

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

Eric,

Eric,

if the form elements have an id they are for sure part of the document and should be readable. I
just tried this myself and it works in IE5.5. as:

function doIt() {
	mm = "<input type='text' id='b' value='hi'>"
	document.all.myBlock.innerHTML = mm
	alert(document.all.b.value)
}

where myBlock is my element to place the innerHTML and as you can see I placed a form field in it,
and then the alert correctly fires off the value of the form element.

If you have some code that is not working, fire it up.
