Would you please include a statement into the header of the javascript code claiming copyright and assigning it into the public domain? That would be great.

it save my life, for real (or not), really usefull, 3 days (and night) i’m on it trying to a function like that and a working function.
I find somes with bug only.
Your script will help me to ajaxify, a web site. To change de header in this case, I can get the header on from html string, no xml.
The big deal was that IE dont allow innerHTML into …
Also with dom i will be able to wait the load of my include

thx again, if a make some mofication I will send you that.

should be:

eg: document.body.appendChild(HTMLtoDOM(“<div>hello</div>”));

By the way, why not just have a function that takes HTML that returns a DOM node, of the same Document origin. That way you can just append it to the Document.

eg: document.body.appendChild(HTMLtoDOM(‘hello’));

would be nice.

IE won’t build input elements properly, if they need a name attribute (which hmm, lets see… form submission does)

all the funky IE broken attributes won’t work (cellpadding, cellspacing, valign, colspan, frameborder, nowrap, accesskey, etc.)

All inline event handlers… on*=”doSomething(this);” will fail

And any checked checkbox/radio buttons will likely have issues too.

oh, and script tag contents will fail, and style tag contents….

I laugh every time I hear the IE Team Mantra “Don’t Break the Web!”

It seems they aren’t very aware that they already, completely, did.

Its not that easy to parse html to js code.
Because of the damn IExplorer.

some examples:
the class Attribut
is in IE
…setAttribute(“className”,”test”);

the onclick Attribut is far stranger
div.onclick = new Function(“”,”")
but then that onclick wont be cloneable!!

the style Attribute has to be
div.style.background = … instead of div.setAttribute(“style”,”background:…);

and so on…

IE is a stranger out there!

Thanks for the code!
