If it's a div, then the comment about tables and innerHTML shouldn't apply.
When display information on a page, their are two basic routes to take: 1) generate HTML on the server and innerHTML it somewhere 2) Return raw data, and have JavaScript loop over it and manipulate the DOM to add the data as it goes. 1 is easier, 2 is supposed to be more correct. Perhaps you should start eliminating things. Start by commenting out the return stuff from your Ajax call and just send back the text "hello world" or something. Does that error? Is the HTML the problem? Also what happens if you try innerText. This will obviously not render the HTML, but if it doesn't error, than we might be able to assume that IE is choking when trying to render the new HTML. Like someone said, a div does not have a value property so setting that won't help you much. ~Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillip M.
