what can I use to contain dynamically changing content

so far I have tried using innerHTML and an iframe, each without sucess.

any other ideas as to what html objects can have their content dynamically changed?

Any form element will allow a dynamic content change!!

You could use a large textarea field and then use CSS to make it look nice(font etc)...no html formatting though...

For a dynamic text you can use innerText too.

try the DOM methods, such as document.createElement
you can add elements to any other element (such as a div) on the page.

I read your other issues regarding writing images through innerHTML, and the problem with those images not showing. This is a known IE issue.
I usually try to stay away from innerHTML and use DOM methods to add dynamic content, that way I haven't had that kind of trouble sofar...
