IE5 and document.createElement

Andrew Poulos · Dec 6, 2004

I'm having some trouble getting document.createElement to work with IE
5. Is this because it's unsupported? And, if it is unsupported, is using
innerHTML a valid workaround?

Implies that it should work in IE5, but what code is not "working"?

I've tested it further and I think the problem is different from the one
I first thought it was. Some thing like this doesn't work:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = foo;
</script>
<body>

whereas this does work:

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<body onload="javascript:foo();">

This is not the way I want to handle events. Is there something I can do
to get the first way (event handlers?) to work in IE5?
