It's not an official W3C DOM method. When you fill the content of an element with innerHTML, the browser will render it but as far as I can remember, the content doesn't really exist properly within the DOM. The proper DOM methods, such as append, remove, etc. do build up the DOM properly. In a way, it's kind of like <embed> vs. <object>. Of course, if you really want to use innerHTML, you could probably go right ahead. But if you are already using a very DOM-friendly framework like jQuery, you may as well take advantage of the face that it makes all the proper DOM methods very easy to use. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
