Sorry, my ISP is up and down like a bus station toilet seat today.
I will post the current test file I've made up, which replicates what
I did in ... an earlier test:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
Event.observe('iframe1', 'load', changediv ());
function changediv () {
// alert('OK SHE IS WORKING');
$('imageShow1').update('OK SHE IS WORKING');
}
</script>
<iframe src="filler.html" id="iframe1" name="iframe1" target="iframe1"
enctype="multipart/form-data" frameborder="2">
Sorry, your browser does not support this technology...please use
Safari or Firefox
</iframe>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:changediv(); return false;">CHANGE
DIV</a><br/><br/>
<div id="imageShow1">down here</div>

OK, I moved the script below the target div, and she worked! Can you
explain that one to me again? The elements in question have to be
"declared" in the normal html BEFORE the JS can make functions
operable? Is this correct? If so, is this theoretically backwards to
what middleware devs would usually expect?
It worked on my other example too. So that is it. Many thanks, but
could you inform me as to why this needs to be lower than the
elements?
Cheers
