Sadly, most of us have to code for IE, just as we have to code for the "good browsers".

If you're in the 'webapp' area, where IE is a minority (20% or so), I think it's justifiable to program in a clean way and live with IE users having a slower experience.

innerHTML is just the worst thing ever invented. Ugly ugly thing.

Where does that 20% stat come from?
