from your example it looks like it is adding it .. as HTML to the page... I assume by 'text' you mean escaped... but your example shows it as not being escaped..
the mystery DIV element is new to me and I'm sure is causing the problem. My guess is that its a problem with the HTML in your variable... are your quotes escaped? ja-6 wrote: > > > I'm dynamically inserting html into a page that only contains an > image.
