Editing HTML with Mozilla javascript

Posted by AnyoneEB [send private reply] at January 25, 2003, 06:45:51 AM

Is there some way to use javascript to insert HTML into the middle of a document. Specially, I want to make a Mozilla menu command that will comment out a selection.

You mean once the file is loaded and rendered? I don't think so. I think you'd need to be using either DHTML(preferable - CSS+JavaScript) here or load a different page(not preferable)

"Commenting out a section" should be easy, I'm guessing: just include that section in a named <span> and delete it referenced by the name of that span.

But then wouldn't the page have to be reloaded?

No, that's the point of JavaScript. You can also just change the visibility style of a div/span tag to hide it.
