Hello UT,

I just discovered that the innerHTML attribute on DHTML elements doesn't return a XHTML string.

For example, if I do (javascript) :

  divTest.innerHTML = '<div id="divMyDiv" MyCustomAttribute="hello">';

  alert(divTest.innerHTML);

it's going to show me :

<div id=divMyDiv MyCustomAttribute="hello">

notice that my id attribute is not XHTML because the quotes are missing.

I understand that it is a bug in IE... or maybe it's by design... whatever.



here's my problem :

In my code, I want to use the innerHTML of a DIV and process it using XSLT... however, since it's not XHTML, I cannot load the string in a microsoft.xmldom.

So I would like to compensate for this bug by adding the quotes to the id attributes programmatically before loading it in a microsoft.xmldom.

I would like to do it using a Regular Expression but I don't know where to start.

Basically I would like to start from

<div id=divMyDiv MyCustomAttribute="hello">

and end up with

<div id="divMyDiv" MyCustomAttribute="hello">

Does anybody have any hint or a Regular Expression that does that?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Alex
