DOM Level 2 and innerHTML

[WindUp]

I read at

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/upgrade_2.html

that "innerHTML" has been depreciated and should not be used any more (if I want to stay compliant with DOM Level 2.) So that begs the question - What do I use for cross-browser compatibility? How do I add a child HTML element to an existing HTML element?


Good Luck!

Where you can element.deleteContent() then replace the content with element.appendChild() but really I wouldnt' worry about innerHTML leaving anytime soon. It's there to stay IMO.

Also before Mozilla had innerHTML you could add it manually by setting up setters and getters to HTMLElement.prototype.innerHTML.

There is a tutorial here :

You may be capable of just adding a few upgrades to your browser implementation if you want to retain the usage of innerHTML in your code and some browser deprecates innerHTML.
