Appending Html String to the Dom

How to append a HTML string such as

var str = '<p>Just some <span>text</span> here</p>';

to the <div> with the id test?

(Btw div.innerHTML += str; is not acceptable.)

Use insertAdjacentHTML which is supported in all current browsers:

div.insertAdjacentHTML( 'beforeend', str );

The position parameter beforeend will add inside the element, after its last child.

Performance

AppendChild (E) is more than 2x faster than other solutions on chrome and safari, insertAdjacentHTML(F) is fastest on firefox. The innerHTML= (B) (do not confuse with += (A)) is second fast solution on all browsers and it is much more handy than E and F.
