Thanks for the tips. The editMode wasn't the problem, turns out that changing the order of things did the trick. So, given this HTML:
<div id="outerDiv"><span id="innerSpan">Text being changed</span></div> If I changed the innerHTML of the "innerSpan" before showing the "outerDiv", I encountered the problem. When I showed the "outerDiv" first and then changed the innerHTML of the "innerSpan" it worked in both FF and IE. In regards to not using globals to persist things, what would you suggest? I'm nowhere near a guru - so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks. dave.methvin wrote: > > > Doesn't work in IE7 either.
