So.....maybe it is the insertAdjacentHTML and insertAdjacentText tags that
you are interested in? Using those, in combination with document.writenln
you can let the user modify the HTML on the fly.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT type="text/JavaScript" language="javascript">
function InsertText()
{
DIV1.insertAdjacentHTML("AfterEnd", "Type Your Text Here: " + "<Input
type='Text' Len='100' />");
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV ID="DIV1">
<input type="Button" value="Insert Text Field" onClick="InsertText()" />
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Or you can also use the innerHTML, ourterHTML, createTextRange,
moveToElementText and pasteHTML tags to modify HTML on the fly also.
