javascript_howto thread: Trouble using innerHTML with IFRAME


Message #1 by "Chris Cote" <cotec@s...> on Mon, 4 Mar 2002 17:33:50
I have a page containing an editable IFRAME element and am trying to add 
specific text to the IFRAME when a user clicks a button.  The program adds 
the text just fine, but the problem is the text keeps changing colors when 
I add anything to the innerHTML of the IFRAME.
   For example, there is a button that will add the word 'cat' and one 
that will add the word 'dog' to the IFRAME (just as an example).  If I add 
one, it'll be fine, but if I try to add more, the text will actually 
change colors.  In looking at the code, the body tag's text attribute 
actually is what changes, but it doesn't change to a certain color all the 
time.  It's very random, from what I can tell.  One time, it changed from 
<BODY text=#000000> to <BODY text=#00e000> and then to <BODY text=#00b000>.
  If there's anyone out there who knows how to fix this problem, please 
tell me.

Chris
