[xul-interop] setting innerHTML-property problem

Hello all,

I have a xul-document with a html-document embedded in an iframe and 
I want to set the content of a <div> in the html-document.

If I try:

document.getElementById("idOfFrame").contentDocument.getElementById("IdOfElement").innerHTML 
= '<b>Some html..</b>';

nothing happens, but if I try:

setTimeout("document.getElementById('idOfFrame').contentDocument.getElementById('idOfElement').innerHTML 
= '<b>Some html..</b>';", 0);

I get what I want.

I can show the original contents of the <div> by displaying the 
.innerHTML with an alert() before both methods, so I have verified 
that I'm targetting the right element. Can anyone explain why the 
first method isn't working? I've also tried to fill the <div> by 
using the DOMParser, without the timeout, but that didn't work either.

This is all in Mozilla 1.7.11 in Windows, by the way

Thanks,

Erik
