innerHTML is a security hole. (Along with not being a standard - it turns out that is is part of the HTML5 standard).
innerHTML
Hmmm! Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
I agree innerHTML is not completely safe in all use cases, it can still be used in some circumstances, such as inserting static data on a page where user input is not collected!
Curious, what would you use instead?
Project Trusted Types, for example, prevents (not completely though, allows custom sanitizers) the use of innerHTML.
The alternative is very simple (although somewhat more verbose): document.createElement() and appendChild() etc..
document.createElement()
appendChild()
Even better and faster are document fragments.
