getElementById error with Explorer 8

[lisounder]

This retrieves the test in all browsers, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc., but not in Explorer 8. I get an unknown runtime error using the script debug.

 

Many thanks for any help.

 

<script type="text/javascript"> 

<!-- get tell a friend body text

document.getElementById('textarea_body').innerHTML = '{$form.body|escape:javascript}';

  -->

</script>

this may be silly, but perhaps try placing textarea_body in double quotes as opposed to single?! my best guess at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestion... changed to double quotes but still fails in Explorer 8.  Been racking my brain on this one with no luck.

 

document.getElementById("textarea_body").innerHTML = '{$form.body|escape:javascript}';
