I am inserting a large amount of links and text into a DIV tag using innerHTML after a page loads. For some reason, the HTML I am inserting is overflowing to the right of the DIV and not wrapping. I have a feeling, the browser cannot perform its normal text-wrapping because I am adding the HTML after the fact. Is there any technique via CSS or javascript to prevent this overflow from happening?

Javascript / HTML : Let's say I have a page called 'foo.html' that opens a new window using the command window.open('http://ask.metafilter.com','newWindow'). Now let's say I navigate AWAY from my original page 'foo.html' to a page call 'bar.html' still leaving 'newWindow' open. Is there anyway I can get a handle on 'newWindow' from 'bar.html' even though I have navigated away from its opener 'foo.html'? I basically want to be able to change the url of 'newWindow' at anytime from any page on my website. Alternate solutions accepted.

really basic, I think. You can't have <link /> tag inside a <script></script> using XHTML strict. I can't quite figure out how to write a function that takes the place of this basic little OS detection script <script type="text/javascript">
var cssFile = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1) ?
"mac.css" : "everyonelse.css";
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='../" + cssFile + "' />");
</script>
Which I would put in the head of the document. How can I move it to a function in an external .js file and get the same result with valid xhtml 1.0 strict? It's not urgent, but it's driving me nuts because I'm really stupid about scripting but I know this sort of thing isn't supposed to be hard.

What I suspect is a fairly stupid javascript question, but one I haven't found an ideal solution for. I four menus made out of unordered lists. I'm using a modified version of the suckerfish dropdown script to make it work in IE (code inside), in one place I want 1 of the four menus to stay open except when I hover on one of the remaining menus. i.e. menu1 is visible. when I mouseover menu2, menu1 is hidden. When I mouseout of menu2 menu1 reappears.

Easypeasy javascript question: I want to have document.x.src, where x is a variable I'll be calling up at some stage in a page body. As it currently stands, the browser attempts to find the thing with name="x", but it's going to return an error because there aren't any things with name="x". How do I let it know that x is a variable, and to ask whether it would be so kind as to use the value of x instead of the letter x?

I have a webpage that has an embedded movie (wmv) that starts when the page loads. My client is wanting the page to redirect to a different url after the movie is done playing instead of the movie just sitting there in the done position. Please help as my googlefu has failed me on this and I am not familiar enough with movies to figure this out. I am sure there is some javascript that can do this, but I cannot find it.
For those that are a little confused I hope this helps:
Client visits domain.com/movie.html and when the movie is done playing it needs to go to domain.com/done.html

I'm looking for a simple Ajax commenting script that will allow commenters on a blog-like site to submit comments without actually leaving the page. I've found the one for Wordpress - but it seems to be a little too specialised for WP templates to be easily adaptable for my site's needs (though I will if I have to). Any links would be much appreciated.
