javascript innerHTML vs textContent
Raw
innerhtml
nodeValue is a little more confusing to use, but faster than innerHTML.
innerHTML parses content as HTML and takes longer.
textContent uses straight text, does not parse HTML, and is faster.
innerText is IE specific and also takes styles into consideration. It won't get hidden text for instance.
