innerHTML and Safari

[jarintabata]

hi i know this is a relatively known issue with safari, but i have yet
to find a really clear explanation of how to deal with it or what
alternative method will accomplish the same thing and work in
safari...

this is my code:

document.getElementById('wire_feed_url').innerHTML = '<a href="<? echo
SITE_ROOT.'rss/?type='; ?>'+newsfeeds.join(',')+'">Subscribe</a>';

any ideas on how to make this work in safari??

thank you!!

First of all, show us the rendered code.

hey
thanks for the reply
not sure what you mean but the page that it renders is here
http://www.thewire.co.uk/newsfeeds/
it's the checkboxes for signing up to newsfeeds
it works in firefox but not in safari..
thanks!

IE7
Syntax Error: Line 2 char 1

What that usually means, in IE, is that it isn't finding an external
file. So, IE is inserting a 404 file, the first characters being a
syntax error, and so it blows up.

What version Safari? Mac or PC?

And, why are you using XHTML on the web? IE doesn't even know what it is.

The page won't work with any browser. Your javascript includes are
returning back a 404 error and a HTML document, not a .js file

Please use proper capitalisation and spelling, this isn't SMS.

InnerHTML is really a Microsoft implementation. Instead, use nodes,
like this:

var aParentItem; // whatever element you want to append the new
anchor to
var newChild = document.createElement("A");
newChild.href = "xxxxxxx";
newChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Subscribe"));
aParentItem.appendChild(newChild);
