setInnerHtml doesnot work in Firefox

[easyCodes]

Hi does any one knows replacement of setInnerHtml function as it doesnot work in Firfox and gives error.

There's no such function in any browser, so far as I (and Google) are aware. You'd set the innerHTML property of the element instead. However, it's not advised to do so -- use DOM methods instead.

May Be!........ Actually i am using online web editor (like we are using for this forum) so using Java Script i am setting some value in editor... method innerhtml i think overwrites each time when function is called i dont want previous contents to be removed i want it to be there n a way from which i can insert my text on the this text Area..... So Basic purpose is just to insert some text on the top of textarea with the previous content present there..

regrads,

i m using code like this
FCK.SetInnerHtml = function( html ) // IE Only
{
var oDoc = FCK.EditorDocument ;

oDoc.body.innerHTML = '<div id="__fakeFCKRemove__">&nbsp;</div>' + html ;
}
Firefox says that SetInnerHtml is not a function but there is no problem in IE... i think there is some problem in function defination.

Is the // IE Only comment part of the code, or have you added? If the former, I would suspect that that is your problem. If the latter, I must ask whether you are calling SetInnerHtml() or FCK.SetInnerHtml(). Either way, I would recommend you use DOM methods over innerHTML, dropping said editor if it becomes necessary.

method innerhtml i think overwrites each time when function is called

Simply do:

oDoc.body.innerHTML += ...

But as Twey said, stick to the DOM methods.

Thank You for Your Support.... Actually Problem stands here.. Please have a look..
this code is not working for me actually i am not a js expert just beginner so need your help to implement this code please check the code below you may have better idea whats going on..

function FCKeditorAPI_GetInstance( instanceName )
{
return this.__Instances[ instanceName ] ;
}

if ( !window.parent.FCKeditorAPI )
{
// Make the FCKeditorAPI object available in the parent window.
FCKeditorAPI = window.parent.FCKeditorAPI = new Object() ;
FCKeditorAPI.__Instances = new Object() ;


// Function used to get a instance of an existing editor present in the
// page.
FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance = FCKeditorAPI_GetInstance ;
}

and then this Code

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('FCKeditor1') ;
var letterText.........
oEditor.SetInnerHtml(textver1);

there is error oEditor.SetInnerHtml(textver1); is not a function

It still overwrites. This is one of the main problems with innerHTML.

We'd rather not. This appears to be a question specific to this FCKEditor (which isn't a DD script) and so isn't really appropriate here. I suggest you ask the developers of FCKEditor for support.

FCKEditor is written in JavaScript... So its pure JS Problem i think this is appropiate place for my Question...... Your Help is Always Appriciated.

No, it's no more a pure JS problem than a problem with Windows is a pure C problem.
