Netscape 6 and writing to layers

[freddydoesphp]

So I ahve it all working in NS4+ and IE4+ but NN6 is giving me some grief. This is waht I have so far to write into a layer, what do I need to do to make it work with NN6. Please!

	function show_desc() {
		if (isLoaded) {
			if (n) {
				descD.open();
				descD.write('<span class="black">' + desc[curstep] + '</span>');
				descD.close();
				}			
			if (domc) {
				descD.innerHTML = '<span class="black">' + desc[curstep] + '</span>';
				}
			}
		else {
			return false;
			}
		return;
		}

Hey,

This is coverd in my tutorial that I'm writing on DOM and dHTML. Anyway, althoguh innerHTML shoudl work iN NN 6 (I'm not sure how you detect that stuff (IE what browsers respond in your code to if(domc)). Anyway, here's one way to do it (using W3C way rather than innerHTML):

     function writeLayer(layerID,txt){
               if(document.body.getAttributeNode){
                         node = document.getElementById(layerID);
                         var newRange = document.createRange();
                         newRange.selectNodeContents(node);
                         newRange.deleteContents();
                         var newHTML = newRange.createContextualFragment(txtHTML);
                         node.appendChild(newHTML);
               }else if(document.getElementById){
                         document.getElementById(layerID).innerHTML=txt;
               }else if(document.all){
                         document.all[layerID].innerHTML=txt; 
               }else if(document.layers){
                        with(document.layers[layerID].document){
                                   open();
                                   write(txt);
                                   close();
                         }
               }
     }
