I'm looking for a way to use javascript to change a certain block of already-loaded text. I have a main section of my page that contains text and I want that section of text to be updated when someone clicks on a specific link.

Here is what I have so far (mind you I no little about Javascript):

Code:

    function rewrite(title, content) {
document.all.mainText.innerText = content;
            document.all.mainTitle.innerText = title;
    }

This seemed to work with IE, but with Chimera it doesn't.

Could someone give a method that would allow for this to work with all browsers?

All Gecko browsers use a similar DOM, but it varies from that used in the proprietary IE DOM. The 'document.all' container is certainly not the recommended model for all new browsers.

It's been a while since I've used this method and I'm a bit rusty on some of the DOM methods, but http://www.dynamicdrive.com is a great place to start.
