When you get the innerHTML of a DOM node in IE, if there are no spaces in an attribute value, IE will remove the quotes around it, as demonstrated below:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1"><div id="div2"></div></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(document.getElementById("div1").innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>
In IE, the alert will read:
<DIV id=div2></DIV>
This is a problem, because I am passing this on to a processor that requires valid XHTML, and all attribute values must be quoted. Does anyone know of an easy way to work around this behavior in IE?
