There is no public specification for innerHTML, it is a property
introduced by IE that has been widely copied. It is not consistent
across browsers so don't expect it to be.

innerHTML is not equivalent to "view source", it is the browser
telling you its version of the markup. There are many diffrences
between browsers on how they report the innerHTML of elements that
have exactly the same source or have been constructed or modified
using the same commands.

Don't use innerHTML. Clearlly the value you are assigning to the href
attribute isn't an href, so don't do that. Assign the value to some
other property and retrieve it using getAttribute, assign a useful
value to the href attribute.
