Example: working around innerText and document.write

M-Business JavaScript engine does not support innerText or document.write.

innerText

Working around the absence of innerText is fairly straightforward. For example, instead of: 

Cell.innerText = I;

You can use:

Cell.appendChild(document.createTextNode(I));
document.write

For document.write, the workaround depends on the complexity of the inserted content.

  • You can sometimes use the visibility attribute to hide then reveal content.

  • Another option is to use a Clone Node.

  • Another option that works for more complex structures is to use createObject, as in the following example: 

    var oTable = document.createElement("TABLE");
var oTBody0 = document.createElement("TBODY");
oTable.appendChild(oTBody0);
var oRow, oCell;
var I;
    		 
    for( I=0; I < 5; I++) {
     oRow = document.createElement("TR");
     oTBody0.appendChild(oRow);
     oCell = document.createElement("TD");
     oCell.appendChild(document.createTextNode(I));
     oRow.appendChild(oCell);
     }
    		 
    var oTableContainer = document.getElementById("oTableContainer");
oTableContainer.appendChild(oTable);
