#22910 — can i paste java script in to a div?

Hello I have a script that grabs a piece of code (widget) from my database and I puts the code in the page with  

 document.getElementById('mdiv').innerHTML = strVALUE;

but  it does not work. I dont think it can work. Is there a way to do this?

There is no java script, as java does not have a scripting form.
And if there where it wwould still be off topic on this NG.

Perhaps you mean javascript?

[I leave it to PE to argue that there is  no javascript either.]

Never use innerHTML for anything else than inserting plain text, unless you 
know EXACTLY what you are doing, and that on all target browsers.

Where is that database located? On the server?

If it is legal javascript, like jason, 
as a string in a variable, 
you can just execute it using eval(codeString);.

Remember that eval is evil, so also here, you are warned.

Do NOT use jquery when you want to discuss such here.

Thanks. it is javascript but it is followed by a <DIV> so I dont think I can just paste it with javascript. I might have to use an iframe or something else.

Is it really JavaScript followed by a DIV element, or is it a SCRIPT
element followed by a DIV element?  I assume the latter, in which case
it would be (X)HTML.

... an (X)HTML document fragment, I mean.

I was trying to fetch the javascript code from a page and  then put it to work inside a dive. Looks like the better approach read the code from the page and use docuemnt.write to make it execute. But not luck yet.

There is no java script, as java has no scripting version.
According to PE there also is no javascript, 
but you can ignore that in the context of your Q. 

Javascript, the language, cannot be executed, 
javascript script, the command script, can.

Once a page is finished/loaded,
you should not use document.write() [unless you want the following],
because it generates an implicit document.open() 
and the page will be rewritten from scratch, 
overwriting everything that existed on that
INCLUDING any Javascript <script> elements on that page.

Once a page is finished/loaded, 
you should manipulate the DOM to add/change/delete something.

Once a page is finished/loaded,
you cannot let javascript "work inside a div", 
you can with javascript script change what is inside a DOM-element 
that has a "div" tagname.

However, during the loading of a page, 
you can use a html-stream like this:

<div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
document.write('jcharth@gmail.com');
</script>
</div>

I do not understand what you mean by "fetch the javascript code",
and what is a "dive" other than a way of jumping into the deep?

Please use a decent signature on Usenet.
