Answer 1

Here is a way in modern browsers without looping:

var temp = document.createElement('template');

var frag = temp.content;

or, as a re-usable

function fragmentFromString(strHTML) {
    var temp = document.createElement('template');
    temp.innerHTML = strHTML;
    return temp.content;
}

}

The coverage is better than the
