have a probem with createTextNode

[Dennis_Gull]

Hello, im trying to make a rss reader using DOM to populate it but I got a problem. I used this code for the description:
var desc = createTextNode(<the description array>);

But some sites have extra tags in the description tag such as pictures and links so if i generate it as a text node I will get the tags as text like this:
some random description <img ... /> <a href.... >link</a>
instead of:
some random description <the real image> <the real link>

I solved this with innerHTML but i was just wondering if theres another way to deal with this?

innerHTML is the best way here. You could write your own HTML parser (and if you've got time, by all means do and use it as a backup in case innerHTML isn't available) but the native parser will always surpass it by far in terms of speed.
