After an AJAX query, a XML file is returned. I'm able to "parse" that file, but when it comes to getting the "innerHTML" (or in this case "innerXML" lol) of an element, I fail.
If the XML element, let's say "content", only contained text I could do: content.childNodes[0].nodeValue
(assuming that content references the XML element "content"). But that element contains other elements:
<stackoverflow reason="tribute to this page">
<content>
<div><span><p>Some more HTML elements</p></span></div>
</content>
</stackoverflow>
I need to copy the content of <content>
to an existing <div>
in the page, how could I do that?
Ex. myDiv.innerHTML = content.innerHTML;
