[I thought] I ran across this problem recently using Firefox (before I
upgraded to 1.5), seemed to recall it as a generic problem of innerHTML,
and headed off in another direction without bothering to save my code or
test it cross-browser.<br><br>
Basically, I inserted HTML markup into a div and found that the div's
firstChild and hasChildNodes came back null. I tried walking the
DOM using getElementsByTagName("*") and couldn't find the tags
I had just inserted, even though the inserted markup was rendered by the
browser just fine.<br><br>
In my Copious Spare Time I'll see if I can reproduce the problem and will
report back. Might just be incipient senility...<br><br>
