(I might well be talking out of my backside here in which case, feel free to shoot me down in flames...) IIRC the innerHTML methods are significantly faster than W3C DOM methods in current mainstream browsers. In most cases it won't make a lot of difference, but if you're pushing a large amount of data around the page, it can be very helpful. I'm not saying you should use innerHTML exclusively -- In most cases I still turn to W3C DOM methods. Sometimes though, IE will slow right down, and innerHTML can be a good way of extracting a bit more speed from it. -- Olly http://thinkdrastic.net/ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
