If you only want to change plain ordinary text to plain ordinary text,
you can expect no problem, at least in current GUI browsers.

In my <http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/holidays.htm> - is it right for
Canada? - the tables (when on the same page) are written with innerHTML,
disguised in function Wryt.


IIRC, problems come if one tries to rebuild the structure of a Table.


The theoretically-favoured way is to use the properties of elements to
alter the DOM tree.  For an example, see
<http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/inc-prop.js>, which provides two
functions, one of which creates a moderately complex first Form, which
may be seen first in <http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-props.htm>.

You may now wonder what those properties are -- press the Enter button
on the Form, double-click 'body', Enter, double-click 'children', etc.
        BUT, after double-clicking a number, just under the
        Enter, replace, for example, x.y.z.7 with x.y.z[7] until I do
        something about it.  TOO LATE, I just did.
