Mozilla 1.x!

Note: innerHTML is not part of W3C DOM standard and might be depreceated in
the future. An example of doing the same thing as above in W3C DOM is like
below:

document.getElementById("swappable").replaceChild(
document.createTextNode("Good evening"),
document.getElementById("swappable").childNodes[0]);

That piece of code will place the text "Good evening" as the first child
element of the DIV element. To include the html tags, such as <B>, you'll
need to create another node and make the text a child of that node.
Obviously, much more effort will be required.

If it's not part of the standard, how can it be depreciated? :-o

Can also just change the text node's value:

<span id="z">blah</span>

<input type="button" value="Change the text" onclick="
document.getElementById('z').firstChild.data = 'new stuff';
">
<input type="button" value="Add some text" onclick="
document.getElementById('z').firstChild.data += 'more text';
">

Provided 'z' has a text node as the first child initially.

Just want to add to Zifud excellent post. Mozilla as soon as revision
version 1.5 supports DOM 3 textContent attribute which is the exact
equivalent to MSIE's innerText.

Also, DevEdge used to have excellent articles on news tickers:

Cross-browser and web standard compliant Stock Ticker example
(http://devedge.netscape.com/toolbox/examples/2001/stock-ticker/)
for now, accessible at:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040202...scape.com/toolbox/examples/2001/stock-ticker/

Comprehensive W3C web standard compliant alternative to <marquee>
http://devedge.netscape.com/toolbox/examples/2002/xb/xbMarquee/
http://web.archive.org/web/20040202...scape.com/toolbox/examples/2002/xb/xbMarquee/

Note that ticker and DHTML marquee annoy users because they interfere
with peripherical vision, usually the user can not slow them down or
turn them off: so generally, they annoy users while taking, using
considerably a lot of user's system resources (cpu and RAM).
