[Javascript] Retaining values

[J. Lester Novros II]

Tedd,

Let me chime in here again.

Using document.createTextNode like so:

    var t = document.createTextNode('here is some text');

    var p = document.createElement('p');
       p.appendChild(t);

    document.getElementsById('placeholder').appendChild(p);

which will result in

    <div id="placeholder"><p>here is some text</p></div>

My sentiments exactly. But the point here is: you don't. I assume you come 
from a PHP background where code is indeed inserted in the page and run-ons 
abound if you're not careful to pepper your PHP code with '\n's.

However, code added to the DOM using JavaScript does not show up in the 
regular view source window. You need either the DOM Inspector 
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622/> or 
Firebug's equivalent to inspect the new DOM structure and see scripted additions.
