Hi HLS & Glenn,
Glenn - I see what you mean by using straight JS, you were correct I was going
straight js and should have been using the ajax calls - thanks for the
clarification.
HLS - I tried changing my ajax success from:
document.getElementById("destDiv1").innerHTML = thehtml;
to
$("#destDiv1").html(thehtml);
as you suggested and while it does run the alert message, it still fails out on
the document.getElementByID in the destination page with the same error:
TypeError: document.getElementById("blah1") has no properties
Would you be able to paste in your sample app that you created? I am probably
missing something small.
Thanks for the help and suggestion!
