Is it possible to set the innerHTML of an iframe from something like a php variable or javascript variable?
I have searched on this and haven't found anything on setting the innerHTML just reading it.

I have used this type of script to change div's but am looking to change iframes

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('text').innerHTML = "<p>Hello</p>";
</script>   

suggestions?

an iframe is a whole new window/document. You will need to do document.getElementById('whatever').body.innerHTML, or possibly document.getElementById('whatever').document.body.innerHTML (depending on the browser, an iframe may or may not resolve to a window instead of a document... I remember old Opera doing this)

Also, if the iframe is pointing to a document in a different domain, you may not be able to edit anything (XSS)

If you don't want to load in a new page but just content you would be better using a div with overflow auto on it.

I could not find a solution for setting the innerhtml but i was able to read the inner html
My solution for this problem ended up passing the needed variables to the page that i had the iframe loading and was then able to save them also.

Try This:

document.getElementById("iframe").src="data:text/html;,"+text;
