Cross browser issue using ajax report pull

Question

Hi,
I have an application working using ajax report pull.
Entire application is based on ajax and its currently released.
Its performance is good. It works fine with mozilla but in ie,
links and buttons are not working.
my code is as follows:
var container = document.getElementById("divlayer");
     container.innerHTML="";
     var l_Val = document.getElementById('P15_ID').value;
     var l_Val1 = document.getElementById('P15_REGION').value;
     var l_Val2 = document.getElementById('P15_COUNTRY').value;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,null,10);
     get.add('P15_GSI_PARTY_ID',l_Val);
     get.add('P10_ID',l_Val);
     get.add('P10_REGION',l_Val1);
     get.add('P10_COUNTRY',l_Val2);
     get.add('P10_ROWS',l_Val3);
     get.add('P15_REGION',l_Val1);
     get.add('P15_COUNTRY',l_Val2);
     get.add('P15_ROWS',l_Val3);
     gReturn = get.get(null,'<htmldb:BOX_BODY>','</htmldb:BOX_BODY>');
     get = null;
document.getElementById("divlayer").style.visibility='visible';
document.getElementById("divlayer").style.display='block';
var elem = document.createElement('div');
     elem.id='d1';
elem.innerHTML=gReturn;
     container.appendChild(elem);
The links with doSubmit is not submitting to the same page in ie.
Please help me.
Thanks,

Hello Niveditha,
There're some differences in browsers... so yes it's possible that it doesn't work with the same code in another browser. The good news is that most of time there're workaround.
When I look at your code, you could already change document.getElementById() by $x(), which is doing the same, but comes from the APEX framework.
Do you have an idea where it fails in IE? Are you using the Developer Toolbar? Maybe that gives you more insights. You could also put some alert('hello 1'); in your code to see what's happening and how far it comes.
If you put it on apex.oracle.com we can have a look into more detail.
