problem with replaceChild

[biswaranjan.rath]

Hi,

I'm facing problem after doing replaceChild for a DOCUMENT ELEMENT.

Sample code:

elem = document.getElementById( "myEle" );
var newVal;
newVal = document.createElement('textbox');
newVal.setAttribute( "id", "myEle" );
newVal.setAttribute( "value", "myValue" );
newVal.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Displaying Textbox'));
intAction.parentNode.replaceChild( newVal, elem );

after this, i'm trying to get the element again by
elem = document.getElementById( "myEle" );

But it returns NULL.


Please help.

^^^^^^^
What kind of document are you trying to script? HTML has textarea but
not textbox.
