TD & innerText

[artsapimp]

I am using javascript to dynamically change the text in a TD. The problem I am having is I need to make parts of the innerText bold and this doesn't seem to be working well.

When the javascript changes the text in the TD it displays the < b > and < / b > tags instead of interpreting them as html. Is there a way to force this to understand html tags when changing innertext?

Thanks for any help.

Could you post what you have so far?

< td id='TestTD' >
< script language=' javascript ' >
function changeTD(tdName){
tdName.innerText = 'Test'
}
< /script >

PHP Code:

tdName.innerText = '<b> + Test + </b>' 


Give that a try.

If "Test" is just text and not a variable, try this:

PHP Code:

tdName.innerText = '<b> + "Test" + </b>'

It is a variable. thanks for your help. I found that tdName.innerHTML is the key to making it understand HTML tags instead of just text.

Thanks again.
