DHTML with MWM2K3 and pIE

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,

After browsing around the web, I seem to get the impression that the
innerHTML tag is not supported by pIE for DIVs, even though 'some'
DHTML is supported for pIE. Are there any updates or plans for updates
to support this?

Failing that, is there a workaround?

I created a quiz site using php, javascript and DHTML. Basically, the
user gets a question, presses a button and the answer is displayed
below the question.

Here is the code snippet to print the answer:

<script language="JavaScript">
function printAnswer( txt ) {
document.all.ansLayer.innerHTML = txt;
}

And here is the calling code:

<form name="answerPrint">
<input type="button" value="Click for answer"
onclick="printAnswer('<? echo $input ?>');">
<div id="ansLayer">
</div>
</form>

This works beautifully on IE and Mozilla and I'd like to make it work
for pIE.

Any suggestions are appreciated..

I did some more digging around on the web, looked at more examples and
removed the document.all as a prefix and it works fine.

Apparently, pIE doesn't like the document object

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, mainly because I am actually
doing this. I'm using PIE on 2003 (are you using 2002?). I found a sample on
the ms site which dynamically loads a remote xml file and populates a drop
down list. When the list is changed and a button is pressed, three divs on
the page are updated using the datasource. It uses innerHTML property for
the divs. I found the DOM to being a bit different to reference them was my
main hang up.

try something like this:

alert(document.forms[0].yourdivID.innerHTML);

So to confirm, div's are children of a ~form~ element (if present) in
PIE but ~not~ children of the document ?

Cause all I can see in the document object are HTML3.2 objects like
form and image collections, rather than what you'd anticipate which is
named DIVs as children of the document (or document.all or DOM
elements)

Cheers for the info -
