Is there a faster way to change span innerHTML

[Charlie T]

Here is the code I am currently using.... can anyone think of a speeder process?

-------
function changeDiv(tagID, tagData) {
if(document.getElementsByTagName) {
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('span');
for(var i = 0, n = divs.length; i < n; ++i) {
if(tagID == divs[i].id) {
divs[i].innerHTML = tagData;
}
}
}
}

Well if you have unique id values (as you should have) you can just access
document.getElementById(tagID).innerHTML = tagData

This is from a thread in September
(<URL:http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=ee9445b6.0409071820.299b03d7%40post ing.google.com>).
The code above is based on my suggestion, but I was using classes, not ids.
