was provided by Taylor Smith.
Q. I would like to know if it is possible to make an image open in a
particular table of a cell from a link in another cell. Kind of like
with
frames where you tell it to open in a TARGET frame.
A. If you give a cell a <span> with a name you can access it with
cellname.innerHTML="New Stuff".
For example
<table>
<tr>
<td><a onclick="magiczone.innerHTML='Look here now!'">Click to change
something.</a></td> <td><span name="magiczone">Pretty boring over
here.</span></td> </tr> </table>
When someone clicks the link the text changes. You can use <span> like
that
anywhere in your files.
All I get is a script error when I run it. On looking up InnerHTML on google, I get a whole bunch of conflicting stuff, involving everything from c# to shtml :P
What's the deal there, has anyone else had issuse, does it need some other code piece that was missing?
It sounds like a really useful bit of code if it worked :D
cheers
