XML Document from InnerHTML

[SJ]

Hi,

So I am trying to save off my source HTML to an xml document in order
to cache a large view within my ajax app.

For those of you familiar with this, the innerHTML does not preserve
the quotes around attributes so creating the xml document from
innerHTML is a pain (in IE).

The way I am doing it now is by calling
xmldoc.loadXML( addQuotesToAttributes(document.body.innerHTML)).

The problem is that the addQuotesToAttributes (which I wrote) can
take some time. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? Using Ajax
to request the xml info from the DB is not a good option for me.

Thanks,
-SJ

IE doesn't do it wrong though as attributes are not required to be
quoted unless they contain characters that require quoting (ex: space).

The way I am doing it now is by calling
xmldoc.loadXML( addQuotesToAttributes(document.body.innerHTML)).

Loop through the body and any and all attributes simply add a space to
the end of it and IE will quote it. When you get ready to save it or
reprocess it strip the space.
