Ack! I was hoping I could manipulate the incoming stuff with more of an

oMyDiv = document.createElement('div'); // this div isn't attached to the

into this DIV
// hocus pocus...
$('target').innerHTML = oMyDiv.getElementByID('source').innerHTML ; // in
your dreams
My understanding is that until the incoming 'source' HTML is attached to the
DOM, it stays as HTML and isn't OO. If this is right, then yes, I'd need a
regEx.
If your problem is not speed, but having the whole page flash briefly, you
can use this method within an invisible div (div.style.display = 'none').
