Javascript - innerHTML not working with HTML select menus

Question

In my HTML page I have 2 select menus with IDs \"month\" and \"day\" - \"day\" is empty when the page loads, \"month\" has 12 options with values 1-12 corresponding to Janua

Answer 1

This is a bit of a hack but it's tiny and works in both FF and IE as a workaround to IE's inability to change innerHTML on select elements.

function swapInnerHTML(objID,newHTML) {
  var el=document.getElementById(objID);
  el.outerHTML=el.outerHTML.replace(el.innerHTML+'',newHTML+'');
}
