Thread: replacing innerHTML removes HEAD and BODY tags

  1. replacing innerHTML removes HEAD and BODY tags

    Hello,

    My extension is a simple button that, when pushed, replaces all of the
    content of a web page. Problem is, when the HTML gets inserted, the
    HEAD and BODY tags seem to disappear. Here is a brief example:

    function parsePage () {
    window.content.document.documentElement.innerHTML =
    "some stufffoo";
    }


    Resulting rendered source is:

    <br /> some stuff<br />
    foo


    Anyone have a clue to what's happening here?

    Thanks in advance,

    John

    Incidently, this is repeatable using the Shell bookmarklet as:
    window.document.documentElement.innerHTML = "some<br /> stuff foo";

    viewing the rendered source via "view source chart".
