Although the reason for that wish is beyond me: just don't use the
proprietary `innerHTML' property.

<script type="text/javascript">
var why = document.getElementById("why");
while (why.firstChild)
{
why.removeChild(why.firstChild);
}

var convertnow = "hello hello";
why.appendChild(why.createTextNode(convertnow));
</script>

The usual feature tests should be applied.

Sorry, could you represent that in a executable state?

can you please show me extra test code so I can see this in action?

Er... replace your <script>...</script> with the offered alternative.

At least with IE 6.0 Windows XP it brings back a Javascript error
"Object does not support this property or method.", with this exact
code,

<div id=why>thank you</div>

<script>
var why = document.getElementById("why");
while (why.firstChild)
{
why.removeChild(why.firstChild);
}

var convertnow = "hello hello";
why.appendChild(why.createTextNode(convertnow));
</script>

You can copypaste this code into your HTML document in place of your
`<script>...</script>'. It should work in all browsers capable of
scripting W3C DOM 1+ Core interfaces if the underlying markup is Valid
(http://validator.w3.org/).

Sorry, my other post was truncated, the file you posted does not
actually work as presented. Can you run that and see?

this is the exact code I am running (IE6.0/WINXP), thank you for
checking

<div id=why>thank you</div>

<script>
var why = document.getElementById("why");
while (why.firstChild)
{
why.removeChild(why.firstChild);
}

var convertnow = "hello hello";
why.appendChild(why.createTextNode(convertnow));
</script>

Any other browser, too.

<div id=why>thank you</div>

<script>
var why = document.getElementById("why");
while (why.firstChild)
{
why.removeChild(why.firstChild);
}

var convertnow = "hello hello";
why.appendChild(why.createTextNode(convertnow));

I suppose this should be document.createTextNode(convertnow);

Usually not. This newsgroup is no code factory. You should run it yourself
and see why it fails, see the FAQ Notes. I did not even post the exact code
you posted below.

However, I have just discovered a typo in this quickhack. So replace
`why.createTextNode' with `document.createTextNode' and it should work in
the mentioned environments.

No worries. The implemented changed you have, hopefully and you have
been helpful, can you see what it is going to do wrong below?
Your code looks very strong and I do appreciate it, in the wild
west Thank you.

THANK YOU.

I don't know if I got my answer, but hopefully someone has figured
this out. The code you have is way to complex to understand, and I
can't get past two errors in it, but maybe there is something I am
missing. Please help if you can :|
