outerHTML
Description
Sets or retrieves the current element and its content in HTML.
Syntax
object.outerHTML[ = outerHTML]
Settings
This read-write property can be any valid string containing a combination of text and HTML tags, except for <html>, <head>, and <title> tags.
When setting this property, the given string completely replaces the element, including its start and end tags. If the string contains HTML tags, the string is parsed and formatted as it is placed into the document.
Note You cannot set this property while the document is loading. Wait for the onload event before attempting to set it. If a tag is dynamically created using TextRange, innerHTML, or outerHTML, you can only use JScript to create new events to handle the newly formed tags. VBScript is not supported.
