innerHTML in NS4.x

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I wrote a “highlight keyword” function in JavaScript where I use the innerHtml property to get the body content into a variable. The script works fine with IE 4.x and NS 7, but NS 4.x doesn’t support this property.

Does anybody know an equivalent property that works in NS 4.x. ?

Thanks for help.

@khalidali63Mar 18.2003 — not a very easy solution..

If I remember it correctly it used to be

first get the reference to that object,say you have a div tag id=id_1

var obj = document.layers["id_1"];

then do this

obj.document.write.open();

obj.document.write.write(value);

obj.document.write.close();

This is if I remember correctly..

It has been a while that I coded n e thing ns 4+ compliant.

?

Cheers

Khalid

There is a method called getSelection() that returns whatever the user has highlighted.

You can retreive the text of an anchor.<a href="#" onclick="alert(this.text)">This is some text</a>

There is a method called find() that will search the document for a string and highlight it's occurrence.

Success!
