To my surprise, insertAdjacentH TML is not supported in Netscape.
Can this be prototyped, or are there similar DOM 2 methods?

Yes, it's a proprietary IE method, as are innerText and innerHTML,
although the latter turned out to be so popular that it is implemented
in most new browsers anyway.

It probably could, but only in Mozilla based browsers. Other browsers,
like Opera and Safari wouldn't be helped by that, whereas using DOM 2
methods would most likely work in all modern browsers and in IE.
There are no DOM 2 methods that parse HTML. To use DOM 2 methods to
create content, you either build it using document.create Element and
document.create TextNode, or you include it in the page, invisible, and
copies it around.
If it's just a simple text, it's easy.
var node = document.create TextNode("simpl e text");
To insert it adjacent to an element, elem, you can do the following:
before:
elem.parentNode .insertBefore(n ode, elem);
at beginning:
elem.insertBefo re(node, elem.firstChild );
at end:
elem.appendChil d(node) or elem.insertBefo re(node, null);
after:
elem.parentNode .insertBefore(n ode, elem.nextSiblin g);
The same works for more complicated nodes than just a plain text, e.g.,
var node = document.create DocumentFragmen t();
node.appendChil d(document.crea teTextNode("it "));
var em = document.create Element("em");
em.appendChild( document.create TextNode("is")) ;
node.appendChil d(em);
node.appendChil d(document.crea teTextNode(" easy!"));
then insert node adjacent to an element as above.
It's a litte verbose, but it's quite easy to get the hang of.

It somehow surprises me that that surprises you now after all the years
Netscape 6/7 have been with us.

Yes, it can be prototyped using createContextua lFragment, see
however as createContextua lFragment is a Mozilla extension you might be
better off to use DOM Level 2 only as already suggested.
However Opera 7 also supports insertAdjacentH TML. Any Safari or
Konqueror users reading here that could let us know whether those
browsers support insertAdjacentH TML?

Well, I deserve that! My javascript mind has been on hiatus.
NS6 always ran like a dog for me, fortunately it never captured much market
share as most NS users stuck with NS4.
NS7, Opera 7 and Safari has got me thinking again... about how much I
forgot.
Cheers,
Jeff

Do you know of any recent browsers that fail to implement innerHTML?
Thanks,

No, but I don't know all recent browsers.
I believe Safari supports it, but can't check it.
I'm not so sure about ICEBrowser.
What recent browsers are there?

I asked over in alt.html and got this:

There's only about 20 in the last month. I have no idea how many are IE
based.

IE based : Deepnet Explorer, Avant Browser, Slim Browser,
Smart Bro, 27 Tools-in-1 Wichio Browser, GameNet
Browser[1], Sports Browser, NetCaptor, KidSplorer,
MyIE2, MyIE2 lite, Ace Explorer, Arlington Kiosk
Browser, Advanced Browser, iRider, WindowSurfer,
Mozilla based: Mozilla, Mozilla FireFox, SmartFox
Other : Opera(2), Image Browser,
Unknown : UltraBrowser(?) , Optimal Desktop(?), 550Access Browser(?).
That is, of 23 browsers, *one* is not based on either IE, Mozilla or
Opera technology: Image Browser, and it doesn't support scripting at
all.
Three fail to say anything about their technology (but I'll be very
surpriced if they aren't using the IE browsers component)

Whats worse is a browser based on technology that displays that
text/plain as a webpage :-x
