[Javascript] netscape: how to write to <div> tag??

Thu Jun 28 03:26:18 CDT 2001

He is wrong anyway. In IE there is nothing like <Layer> tag except the <IFRAME>. There is some equivalency between
layer in the NN and the IFrame in IE, but the tag is a tag, and it's known as HTML.
Layer is analog to DIV but the logics of functioning are extremely different. Layer is a new NN document window layered inside, very much alike the <input>, while the div is same as nothin it's a simple container that does nothin(wery usefool indeed), non can consider a simple word or a letter inside document to be another page or the page within the page, because in IE you can manipulate and access a single letter of the page content and move it if you like all across the document. The guy has a problem with a write command, because it creates a new document instead of his aim to write inside the same document. The write method is window handeled, so it writes a new document no matter how you declare it.

Well, I tend to think of if it as a page within a page in the same window.

ie

<html>
<!--other required tags in CSS to define the divs-->

<div id =div1>Content1</div>
<div id =div2>Content2</div>
<div id =div3>Content3</div>
</html>

Then using Javascript you can manipulate the divs, hide them, move them,
write
to them etc.
