.innerHTML does not return TR and TD tags in FF

Code:

<div id="div1">
<tr><td><b>hello</b></td></tr>
</div>

<script  type="text/javascript">
alert(document.getElementById("div1").innerHTML);
</script>

In FF the above code will alert "<b>hello</b>" but in IE is alerts the whole TR element code. So why is FF not showing the whole code and what can be done to get the whole TR element code?

It's probably because such a structure is not valid. A <tr> may not have a <div> as an immediate parent.

Perhaps we could suggest a better alternative if you would tell us what you're actually trying to do (and show us more of your code).

The table rows may be isolated only within TBODY, THEAD or TFOOT elements, not within DIV elements. Mainly TBODY is to be used, as a table may have more than a single TBODY.
