Some notes:

• You must have a doctype.
• You cannot query the DOM element before window.onload has fired
• You should use element.nodeValue instead of innerHTML et al to avoid bugs when the text contains things like < > & "
• You cannot reset whiteSpace once IE finishes rendering the page due to what I assume is an ugly bug
