Changing innerHTML not really working in IE

(original thread deleted due to... mix-up in communication i guess)

I'm working on some javascript for a gallery on my site, the coding as follows

Code: Select all

function changeImage(fileName,imgName,imgDesc)
{
document.getElementById('full').src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k312/ZumoroNuva/Artwork/" + fileName;
document.getElementById('title').innerHTML=imgName;
document.getElementById('description').innerHTML=imgDesc;
document.getElementById('link').src="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k312/ZumoroNuva/Artwork/?action=view&amp;current=" + fileName;
document.getElementById('image').style.display="block";
}

and the HTML

Code: Select all

<div id="image" style="display:none;">
<p><h3 id="title" style="margin:0px;">Image Title</h3>
<span id="description" style="margin:0px;">Image Description</span>
</p>

<div style="text-align:center;margin:0px auto;">
<br/>
<a id="link" href="" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"><img id="full" src="" alt="" class="borderBig" style="border-width:6;"></a>
</div>
</div>

the page

it works in FF but IE only does the first 2 lines (changing the src and innerHTML of the title, won't change the description or reveal the div) any ideas what's wrong?

Never mind, i figured it out myself, for some reason IE doesn't like the "image" or "description" as IDs, so i changed them to "picture" and "info" and it works perfectly... weird...

so a mod or fa can close the other topic and possible keep this open for future reference, or add it to whatever list of IE glitches we have here.

thanks everyone... for nothing... (bad day)

possibly due to a conflict in ID's
