I've been trying to use the ID= tags inside the <TD id=myName> ones so i can place text from a database on the table, but not using a text/input box. I want to be able to use the document.form1.myName.insertAdjacentText() option, but whenever i try to reference something with the id tag, it comes up with an error saying it doesnt recognise the object or it is null

Does any one know of a better way to insert text from a database into a table not using textarea/text boxes?

Thanks

I am sure no javascript buff so I always write the table while looping through the recordsetlike
Response.Write "<td>" & rs("myItem") & "</td>"

I am sure it is possible to do with js, did you give your talble itself and ID also?

might want to do

instead...

then you can say:
document.getElementById("MyName").innerHTML = 'this text';

actually, that'd probably should work with

as well

and if you need to append new text then:
document.getElementById("MyName").innerHTML += 'this text';

Thanks for the responses, i got it working with this
inside a function

var strSample = document.getElementById("myDiv");
strSample.innerHTML = "text";

it didn't seem to like me just setting the document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = ""

Thankyou
