innerHTML working in FF but not in IE!

Question

In my JSP i am using a custom tag
like:

Date From:

and in my common.js fi

Answer 1

You need to tell IE about the tag first. Add this line somewhere before calling addDateFormatInfo():

document.createElement("showDateFormat");

IE will now initialize the element correctly - you can treat it just like any other element. Firefox does this automatically.

Here's the source blog post:

Support for createElement() starts in IE7 - though I works fine in FF3.0.15
