Topic awaiting preservation: opera and innerHTML

hello everyone,
I hope you can help me.
I'm trying to append to a HTML document using javascript.
works perfect in IE... but Opera doesn't support innerHTML.
So does anyone know, how I can retrieve the current HTML in a frame in Opera?
here's my code (output is the frame I'm trying to update...)
var temp = parent.output.document.body.innerHTML;
parent.output.document.open();
parent.output.document.write(temp);
parent.output.document.write(strtoappend);
parent.output.document.close();

thank you,

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

/me bangs his head on the closest wall for not thinking about number 1... but it has been a hard day at school (first since fallbreak).
so how do I prevent the tiny flicker if the page contains images? probably not at all. sigh.
maybe I should just use document.write and not open and close it. that works at least in IE 5 and doesn't flicker. but it makes opera go mad....
I truly want to go back to the server side of my application right now. At least if it works there once it will work always. sigh.

thank you again,
