The innerHTML is a bit tricky especially in IE, where elements like thead are read-only and cause a lot of trouble.

Based on the documentation on msdn you might try documentMode which provides a innerHTML property.

myIFrame = myIFrame.contentWindow ||
    myIFrame.contentDocument.document ||
    myIFrame.contentDocument;
myIFrame.document.open();
myIFrame.document.write('Your HTML Code');
myIFrame.document.close();

this might only work in IE.
