Does this not work?

var element = document.getElementById("divTFooter");

note the use of SINGLE quotes (')

Jim, it would work except if there is javascript in any of the xhtml,
then I am back to square one. I thought I had come across a way to do
it once, and apparently didn't write it down or store an example. The
reason I am trying to do this is because I have several pages that
have the same text/code and I would like to have javascript populate
those areas so a single change to the javascript will be a global
change. Using several document.writes gets messy so I was looking for
a better way.
