As I understand it, markup that is added using innerHTML cannot be later manipulated by DOM-methods, whereas as DOM inserted (using .createElement and .appendChild) elements can be.

[jQuery] Using $ to insert HTML into the page

[Matthew Pennell]

Apologies if this has been raised before - I searched but couldn't find anything.In the documentation (visualjquery.com version), it says that the $ function, when passed some HTML as a string, will "create the DOM elements representing that HTML string, on the fly".
Looking at the code though (the clean function), it appears all it is doing is using innerHTML - is this the case? If it is, I think the documentation should be changed to better represent what is actually happening. If not, can someone explain how this works to me please?
Thanks,Matthew.
