innerHTML changes

[McKirahan]

Why does innerHTML change capitalization and quotation marks?

If I assign the following tags:

<span style='backgrou nd-color:yellow'>X </span>

the following is return via innerHTML:

<SPAN style="BACKGROU ND-COLOR:yellow">X </SPAN>

Thanks in advance.

I just saw that it added a space after the colon so I'll ask ...

Why not, HTML/SGML rules allow variations, the browser you are using is
not returning the relevant part of the source markup but is serializing
the relevant part of the document tree. I agree that it might be nicer
for some purposes if source formatting were preserved, for other
purposes it might be nicer if you could set serialization parameters
like quote characters etc but you will have to live with the different
ways browser generate innerHTML. If you need a special format you might
want to write your own serializer traversing the DOM tree.
