Accessing elements within DIV layers in IE?

Hello! I have noticed a problem when using Internet Explorer, DIVs and JS.

 

I am not able to access an element if it is within divs!

 

For example,

 

<div id="content">

 

<div id="content-gallow">

<img src="images/gallow.gif">

</div>

<div id="content-words">

<p><span id="words" name="words"> </span>

</div>

</div>

 

I am using innerHTML on the span "words". This works fine in FF but in IE it does not work unless I remove it from the DIVs.

 

I'm sure there is something simple I am messing up but I need a fresh set of eyes. Thanks so much!

Works fine for me in IE7. Perhaps there is some other problem such as misformatted HTML, that is causing the problem

 

Tested with this:

<html>
  <body>

  <div id="content">
         
    <div id="content-gallow">
      <img src="images/gallow.gif">
    </div>
    <div id="content-words">
       <p><span id="words" name="words"> </span>
    </div>
  </div>
  <button onclick="alert(document.getElementById('words').innerHTML);">Test</button>

  </body>
</html>
