Answer 2

+2 A:

You're right: getElementByID doesn't work.

Try getElementById() instead. Javascript is case sensitive.

Answer 3

A:

remember that you must have a valid webpage and that means full HTML tree:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeText(div){
    document.getElementById(div).innerHTML = 'my new text';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

--- your body ---

<div id="DIV_ID">old text</div>

<input type="button" onclick="chageText('DIV_ID');" value="Click me" />

</body>
</html>

remember that you have to call getElementById with:

<script type="text/javascript"> // as from HTML5 you can use only <script>
    document.getElementById("DIV_ID").innerHTML = 'my new text';
</script>

Answer 4

A:

ok i assume $content is a snippet? then this may be all you need:

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->validateOnParse = true; 
$doc->loadHTMLFile('<html><body>' . $content . '</body></html>');   
$element = $doc->getElementById('div_to_edit');

prodigitalson 2010-05-24 17:29:20

it is a snippet, so in your example how would I be able to to replace the div 'div_to_edit' with another div altogether and then save the HTML?
