[Javascript] Hopefully quick question.

[Troy III Ajnej]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Not counting but, there's been 8 years or so, that I've been listening
to all kinds of morons yelling STANDARDS; W3C; "how it shoould be"
"document.getElementById('ID') - IS BETTER" etc etc etc...

I mean, why is there, all of a sudden, this sort of need for coding 
convenience when there was a beautifully nice, clean, simple and
ultra-convenient  mydiv call and super-widely supported also; 
Just like super-convenient innerHTML is, and has been for little over
a decade or so?

Why didn't people, for their own coding convenience's sake stick to it 
as they did with innerHTML so that W3C bandits would finally get forced
to accept it as they did with the previous?

Why are people wasting time on learning how to use javascript 
skinners like these, considering other people scripting habits as their
scripting knowledge, and atop of it forcing clients to download up to 
200KB for a crap like that, instead of learning to code for real. That is:
javascripting?!!
That I don't know.
(Although I have nothing against true coders using them)

Regards
