Before I go on, lemme just say that I don't know squat about javascript. That being said...

I am using the following javascript to load results onto my page...

var xml = xmlObject();
var url;
var button;
var result;
function xmlObject () {
    if (typeof XMLHttpRequest == 'undefined') {
        objects = Array(
            'Microsoft.XmlHttp',
            'MSXML2.XmlHttp',
            'MSXML2.XmlHttp.3.0',
            'MSXML2.XmlHttp.4.0',
            'MSXML2.XmlHttp.5.0'
        );
        for (i = 0; i < objects.length; i++) {
            try {
                return new ActiveXObject(objects[i]);
            } catch (e) {}
        }
    } else {
        return new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
}
function resultElement () {
    if (!document.getElementById('result')) {
        result = document.createElement('div');
        result.id = 'result';
        document.body.appendChild(result);
    }
}
function handleResults () {
    if (xml.readyState == 4) {
        if (xml.responseText == 'url.blank') {
            result.innerHTML = 'Enter a valid URL';
        } else {
            result.innerHTML = xml.responseText;
        }
    } else {
        result.innerHTML = 'Loading..';
    }
}
function getResults () {
    resultElement();
    xml.open('get', 'results.php?url=' + escape(url.value));
    xml.onreadystatechange = handleResults;
    xml.send(null);
}
function loadHandler () {
    url = document.getElementById('url');
    button = document.getElementById('button');
    button.onclick = getResults;
}
window.onload = loadHandler;

problem is, the results are loading at the bottom of my page. Is there a way to make it load in a specified div?

ive narrowed it down to this portion...

function resultElement () {
    if (!document.getElementById('result')) {
        result = document.createElement('div');
        result.id = 'result';
        document.body.appendChild(result);
    }
}

... instead of creating a div I would like it to load on an existing div

Test page is here

document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = result
