JASPA.DOM is now an open source project on SourceForge

I've decided to set up an open source project for the jaspa.dom package; it is to be found on SourceForge.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaspa-dom. It's my first attempt at anything like this, so I'm bumbling around a bit, but the downloads are there and the CVS repository is also up and running. Any developers who are serious about helping develop this API should put a request to join the project on SourceForge.

What?

The main JASPA project is a platform which allows you to write a grown up language (practically identitcal to AS3), and have it compiled into regular JavaScript. If you don't know why this is really cool, then you may as well stop reading now.

japsa.dom is the name of the DOM scripting package which allows you to compile browser-based code with JASPA. It's a completely separate project, and is quite possibly larger and more complex. It is certainly less mature. The JASPA compiler is behaving pretty well, but the API code base is very much incomplete.

Explorer throws an unknown error when you set innerHTML

The bug seems to only occur for certain markup. I'm not 100% sure what the defining problem is, except that markup containing block elements like <div> and <p> seem to invoke the error. Anyway, this drove me up the wall recently so I thought I'd share the work around I came up with.
