hey Joerg,

yes that is what I mean... it's quite cool you can create a 'DOM' tree 
in php.
I put it in between brackets because it's not really DOM you it creates but
rather a X(H)ML). I assume it send that over the wire?

What I currently see above is that it uses innerHTML to put the 'DOM' in 
in my HTML?
However innerHTML is in fact depreciated, but still widely used on browsers.
Should we still use innerHTML??

If you look at builder then you can 'really' create a DOM tree on a 
web-page the correct way.
