Javascript : Cycle Div IDs w/Prefix & Reset HTML

I need a simple snippet to cycle through all the DIVs in a document with the ID prefix of "VALIDATIONRESPONSE." and reset the internal HTML

So there could be 10 DIVs with unique names like "VALIDATIONRESPONSE.email_addr" and "VALIDATIONRESPONSE.first_name"

I need a JS snippet to cycle through the Document that resets the Internal HTML of each div to NULL (empty)

JavaScript AJAX JScript

the ID of the DIVs is VALIDATIONRESPONSE. not the content...

example: <div id="VALIDATIONRESPONSE.email_addr"></div>

Here, I just modified your code.. the basics were there.

switched out innerHTML for id

Thanks :)

var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
for(var i=0;i<divs.length;i++) {
var b = divs[i].id.indexOf("VALIDATIONRESPONSE.")>=0;
if(b) {
divs[i].innerHTML = "";
}
}
