Topic awaiting preservation: How to access div element by index (Page 1 of 1)

Howdy folks, the following code works great:

function ChangeOpenerField() {
var divObj;
divObj = window.opener;
divObj.club.innerText = "Testing...";
}

Above, "club" is the id of a DIV Tag in the opener obj. The object "divOjb" is intendid for referencing this DIV Tag. I need to pass the ID of the divObj as a parameter, and also the value of the innertext of this DIV Tag. I'm not sure how to reference the DIV element collection by index name.
I'm close, I know I am.
Oh... and I don't care too much for <whats it called... when you convert text to code... uhhhh, shoot... can't think of it, sorry>
So, how to reference DIV element collection by index.

Thanks for the help!
Karl

Well, I'm a little confused, since what you're calling "divObj" is really a Window object. To get to the DIV with id="club" inside the divObj window, you should ideally be using divObj.document.getElementById('club'), for standards compliance.

But beyond that, I don't understand your question. I'm not sure what you mean by a "DIV element collection."

I was assuming that the document element contained a collection of DIV elements and that you could reference them via INDEX.
This does not work:
divObj = opener.window.divs["id_of_my_div_tag"]

But I'd like it to ; ).
However, I can certainly go with your suggestion of using the function, "GetElementByID".
Thanks! (will post resulting code shortly)

Note that if you want an array of all the DIV elements in the page, you can use

divObj.getElementsByTagName('div')

and then it will be a Javascript Array that you can loop through or do whatever you want with.

Very nice. Thanks guys!

[edit] oh, this is what I've come up with:

function ChangeOpenerField(fld,val) {
var divObj;
divObj = window.opener.document.getElementById(fld);
divObj.innerText = val;
}

I should probably be checking for null before trying to set the innerText of the DIV element.
