Altering elements made with innerHTML

[Ixonal]

I'm workin on my website with AJAX and I want to create the menu on the server side, and just chunk that code into the navBar.innerHTML variable with javascript. Thing is, after I do that I want to alter properties of the menu objects. So I guess my question is are elements added to a page through innerHTML added to the DOM as well?

if not, I can always just send back raw data and construct the elements client side, it's just more annoying that way.

yes. it will be added to the dom tree and you will be able to traverse it using one of the many ways.

ok, so I should be able to use getElementById() to get 'em? See, I had tried something like this before and I couldn't use appendChild() on the elements added in this way, so I was thinking there would be a function to reform the DOM or something. Oh well, I'll try this out this way and get back if it doesn't work out.

So I guess it worked right? just note that appendChild() should work though do you have a code you have been working on?
