I need to create an 'a' element and append it to a div tag. I had already made a script that dynamically adds checkboxes and hidden input type to a given page but the problem is it works with IE but not with FireFox. Could any one of make me how to do that?

When assigning some HTML to the innerHTML property of a DOM element, Internet Explorer performs some security text, especially if the inserted HTML contains javascript. To make your script with Firefox, you can try this :-

Quote:

function test(){

var hr =document.createElement("hr");
document.getElementById("thebody").appendChild(hr);

}

Or better you try this code create an 'a' element and append it to a div tag:-

you have to use the javascript: prefix on the href for it to become an active javascript function caller. So this is how it should be:

Quote:

newlink = document.createElement('a');
newlink.setAttribute('class', 'signature');
newlink.setAttribute('href', 'javascript:showSignature(xyz)');

Create element Script code:-

Quote:

<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
function function1(){
var myElement = document.createElement('<hr>');
myBody.appendChild(myElement);

myElement = document.createElement('<Br>');
myBody.appendChild(myElement);

myElement = document.createElement('<Hr>');
myBody.appendChild(myElement);
}
</script>
<body id="myBody">
<button onClick="function1();">Put horizontal rule</button>
</body>
</html>
