Message: [QUOTE="Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn, post: 4974351"] You are welcome. Please also take heed of the recommendations about proper quoting. This is not a code factory; you should read postings more thoroughly: I used `_global' in the code and `global' in the explanation, but you should get the picture anyway. Sorry, I forgot to consider a peculiarity of MSHTML that requires you to set the `type' property of the object before you insert it in the DOM tree. Therefore, this should work (tested positive in IE 7.0.5730.11): var input = document.createElement("input"); if (input) { input.type = "button"; element.appendChild(input); input.value = "test me"; } The additional type-converting test here is useful in any case. Don't forget to add runtime feature tests at least for all method calls. PointedEars [/QUOTE]
