Question

I wanted to ask how to change div content, but not using innerhtml.

Answer 1

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/Cb6ME/

   // get the div
var div = document.getElementById('foo');

   // remove child nodes while at least one exists
while( div.childNodes[0] ) {
    div.removeChild( div.childNodes[0] );
}
   // create a new span element
var span = document.createElement( 'span' );

   // give it some text content
span.appendChild( document.createTextNode("I'm new!!!") );

   // append the span to the original div
div.appendChild( span );
