hi friends,
I am developing a javascript function to evaluate the contents (innerHTML) an iframe, and append some values to there contents. I want to write back this inner html to the iframe. i tried to do it like this

[CODE]document.documentElement.innerHTML = sometext;[/CODE]

but it returned the follwing error:
[COLOR=Red][I]
Could not set the innerHTML property. Invalid target element for this operation. [/I] [/COLOR]

can you suggest an idea to do this please?

thanking,
shinu

window["iframe_name"].document.body.innerHTML

where iframe_name is the name you have given to the iframe

but i want to replace the whole html string, including the header section.

any way now i am just doing

[B]Iframe.contentWindow.document.write(sometext);[/B]

i am not sure whether it is reliable.

shinu.

You said you wanted to append to the contents not the head section ?
