getElementById() is case sensitive.

@akshay It worked for me. Your mycode is probably not in the right scope. Can you please post more code? What does alert(mycode) popup with just before you attempt to set the innerHTML property?

@akshay - you need to post the entire code block, not fragments for this to progress.

I've tried the code: mycode = "<br>jajaj<b>jjja</b> "; document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = mycode; and it worked. I used Firebug lite to test it. Could you post all the statements in one place? It could be scope issue.

You had missed semicolon

 document.getElementbyid("xyz").innerHTML = mycode;

This is very unlikely to be it. An implicit semi-colon will be inserted here unless the fucntion was particularly badly formatted.

Have you type your code in this manner?

<html>
<body>
<div id="xyz"></div>
<script>
var mycode = "<br>jajaj<b>jjja</b> "; 
document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = mycode;
</script>
</body>
</html>

This one worked for me. Please post your sample code so that we can see it.
