made a rather startling revelation today which was startling and disturbing at the same time. it turns out that if you use the internet explorer innerHTML property, if you assign something to innerHTML, IE will first parse the HTML tags in there and so stuff to it. so when you assign a value to innerHTML, it doesn’t put just what you have, but all this other crap to…it also likes to close <table> definitions so you can’t use multiple calls to innerHTML without it parsing it up the wazoo.

grrrr.
