Preserved Topic: Tiny Netscape problem. (Page 1 of 1)

I want to be able to transfer the contents of one layer to another. Or in other words get this to work. If that makes sense.

alert(document.layers['testDiv'].document.read());

Basically whats the Netscape4's version of alert(document.all.layerName.innerHTML);

you have to use document.write for NS4 as it doesnt have an innerHTML equivalant.

I know that, but what I want is to 'send' the html of a Div to a string in Netscape. Basically ...document.write() backwards.

Hmm. Could totally be wrong but I don't think there is such a thing

Yeah, I don't think that's possible in NN 4.x, but if you know what the text is yourself, you could store it in a separate variable for later reference, and just synchronize the variable and the page content, but that may be unrealistic if the document is large.

It okay, I've assumed that isnt possible and made a sort of workaround. You see the problem was I had a layer , that used that load(url,x) function to load a HTML into a layer, and I wanted to put that Html into another layer but changed slighty. What I have now is the HTML I wanted in the Layers, sent from a variable in a hidden frame to the layer.

(this means I cant used HTMl from a different server)

But thanks anyway.
