Is there a way to designate some HTML content as not managed by jQuery?
<p>In <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2923987/">another question</a>, I asked why it takes so long to remove HTML content from a page with jQuery.  </p>

<p>Apparently when removing HTML content from an element, jQuery has to march through each element and do... <em>something</em>.. I don't know exactly what.  And this can take a vvery long time for large-ish HTML content. </p>

<p>In an effort to side-step the problem, I'm wondering:<br>
Is there a way to add dynamic HTML content to a page, that uses jQuery, but NOT allow jquery to "adopt" the content?  </p>

<p>In other words I want some subset of the HTML content in a page to be outside of the purview of active management by jQuery. </p>

<p>In this particular case, the content is within a jQuery accordion.  So I want the accordion to work, but for everything beneath the divs for the accordion panels, I want jQuery to not be aware of those things. The goal is to short-circuit the very lengthy process it takes to remove that content, later. </p>

<p>Does this make sense? </p>

<p>possible? </p>

<p>What if, instead of doing something like  <code>$('#elementid').html(content)</code>, I just used the innerHTML property on the element itself, using <code>document.getElementById()</code>  Would that keep jQuery out of the subcontent?</p>

<p>I guess I'll try it, but if anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.</p>
