If you use a text area, then I'd suggest posting it in a form and taking the
value of that text area on the server.  That gets around the innerhtml
issues.  But posting using the XMLHTTP object is probably your best bet.

The only items that innerhtml does not put quotes around are standard
attributes, custom attributes of tags that are not recognized by IE will
return with quotes around the attribute values.  At least for IE 5 and
higher.  Replacing these can be a pain since IE 5, 5.5 and 6.0 all put some
attributes in a different order in the innerhtml.

Sure. Copy the DOM portions you want in a textarea and submit the form
;-)
The only problem is, innerHTML does not return well-formed markup
(quotes are missing). I had to use an applet to fix that back then.
