I dynamically change a div's content by its innerHTML, but it seems the js link doesn't work, does it suppose to be like that? how to add js file link in innerHTML?

thanks!

Show us the code you're using.

• It may be that you aren't properly nesting the various values.

• It could be that you're not escaping the internal quotes.

• It could be that you're trying to use innerHTML to directly address and alter the javascript link when you need to use it to refer to the markup that contains the javascript link.

Fwiw, take a look at this…

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>Untitled</title>
	<script type="text/javascript">

	function linkSwap() {
	var thisId = document.getElementById('thisThing');
	thisId.innerHTML = "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.location='two.html';return false;\">Link 2</a>";
	}

	</script>
</head>
<body>

<p>
	<a href="#" onclick="linkSwap();">linkSwap</a>
</p>

<p id="thisThing">
	<a href="#" onclick="window.location='one.html';return false;">Link 1</a>
</p>

</body>
</html>

js code in event works fine, I am talking about js code like this

test.innerHTML="<div id=\"testnode\"><script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">alert(\"test\");</script></div>";

in my another thread, I described what I encountered, when I assign those code to a div tag by createdelement by looping through the source div, the alert works fine, but not work when I use innerHTML.
