Which represents a fragile way to dynamically change an
HTML element, probably in a rather broken OS component.
If on the other hand, the OP wants to dynamically change an
element in a web page that appears in *browsers*, they might
be better off to consult the folks who know Javascript in
c.l.js[1], or refer to the excellent FAQ (written and tested
by the contributors to c.l.js) which is updated regularly -
particularly section 4.15[2]

[ Please stop giving JS advice on Java groups. There are not
enough JS aware folks here to spot the bad* stuff. * Which
amounts to 90%+ of the JS freely available on the web. ]
