emptying a layer

[rob :: digitalburn]

Hi,

Has anyone any idea how to empty the content of a layer, defined using a
<div>? This is so I can write completely new content to the layer.

I was just using innerHTML (or innerText) to write the new content, which
obviously just replaces the old. Under specific circumstances this crashes
IE though (it's repeatable). I have four layers which can have stuff written
to them - on one of them it crashes, which is *very* odd, as they're all
exactly the same. I've tried just about everything... I can write the new
content no problems, using insertAdjacentHTML, but this doesn't replace the
old stuff.

Anyone got any clues?

thanks
Rob

I had to sidestep the problem in the end - couldn't solve it, as it was
definitely a repeatable bug in IE, and I couldn't find a different way of
accomplishing the same thing. A bit annoying, but never mind.
