title: Set content of HTML <span> with Javascript
body: <p>In a webpage I am calling a WebService that gives me an integer value.  I need to display this value in a block of text.  I am currently using an HTML <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I've found two methods of putting my value in a span.  <code>innerText()</code> is an IE proprietary way of doing it and <code>innerHTML()</code> is a non-standards compliant way, although widely supported.</p>
  
  <p>What is the correct standards compliant way of setting the text between <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/span&gt;</code> from Javascript?</p>
