coffee, black   no sugar

I am experimenting with mnot's hx:include mechanism. This works very nice and I already use it on our company blog.

There seems to be a bug in Firefox 1.5.0.3 which prevents <div> tags from being replaced properly. When the content fetched be hinclude arrives, it is merely inserted just before the div. Replacing text or spans works fine. Internet Explorer 6 does not show this bug.

This is what i want to do:

<hx:include src="tests/network.snip"> <div class="loading">Loading Network Check...</div> </hx:include>

The reason I used a div is that it allows me to show it at 100% width. Eye candy. The version I do have working now is this one:

<div class="loading"> <hx:include src="tests/network.snip">Loading Network Check...</hx:include> </div>

which is a little fake. The loaded html snippet has its own div and a opaque background style so that the loading div is just overshadowed. Not so flexible.

So I tried to hack enhance Mark's script be removing all child elements before setting the innerHtml. No effect.

Any other idea? Someone?
