[Laszlo-dev] Modifying someView.sprite.__LZdiv.innerHTML

Thu Aug 20 13:49:43 PDT 2009

I don't agree. Modifying innerHTML of DIVs is really valuable for  
mixed runtime applications, or components which are re-used across  
runtimes (Flash Google maps and Ajax Google Maps, for example).

Using iFrames adds complexity in such a case. But you are right,  
poking at internals is never safe, but in this case, adds some fun. :-)

Honestly, the more important DHTML runtime becomse, the greater is the  
need for simple DOM modification inside OpenLaszlo apps. @Max: what do  
you think?
