innerHTML = JavaScript object

[KDawg44]

HI,

I am using jsgraph to draw some graphs. I want to be able to update
these graphs by calling a javascript function to update data.

I have a div to display the graph that looks like this:

<div id = 'div1'>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
graph3.makeGraph();
//-->
</script>
</div>

What I would like to do is from another javascript function

document.getElementById('div1').innerHTML = graph3.makeGraph();

but this does not work. Is there a way to output a javascript object
to a div?

Thanks.

Kevin

If you set innerHTML to a string containing a valid HTML snippet, it
will work. where that string came from is irrelevant.

I suspect your graph3.makeGraph() does not return a string, but calls
document.write() instead - which you cannot for this after the document
has loaded. So change that.
