Would be far better if you included example of actually setting outerHTML.

With ie5.5 in windows 98 se,
document.all['myid'].outerHTML ="<p>hello</p>" yields js error -
"Unknown runtime error"

This error seems limited to use of outerHTML; innerHTML as well as outerText, innerText etc function without incident.

Best,

Your example clearly illustrates the difference between innerHTML and outerHTML - and indeed, the difference between these and inner/outerText.

However, from the example given, it would seem that innerText and outerText return the same thing. A better example would show a case where their return values differ.

Thanks! I've been trying to work out how this innertext works. This sure helped me.
