InnerHTML doesn't work.

[cm_eriksson]

Why doesn't "innerHTML" work, while "text" does in the following code:

function insertTextAtCursor() {

var TextEditor=document.getElementById("TextEditor");
var FileName=document.getElementById("myList").value;

TextEditor.focus();
TextEditor=document.selection.createRange();

TextEditor.innerHTML += "<a href="+FileName+">"+FileName+"</a>";

}

innerHTML works when i skip the "TextEditor.focus();"
and
"TextEditor=document.selection.createRange();"

Please advice... it's annoying :)

Hello cm_eriksson, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

What are you trying to achieve?

TextEditor=document.selection.createRange();

You have now assigned the variable, TextEditor, to the range returned by createRange.
You've "lost" the element.
