A Quick Update to Simple Twitter

A lot of people use my Simple Twitter Feed written in JavaScript (for some reason).  Well, today I pushed out a quick update that should fix all the woes users have given me in the past.

The code should now be valid XHTML strict, and I know longer use innerHTML for each list element.  Instead, I’ve moved from adding the list elements via innerHTML to DOM Manipulation (appendChild).  I’m not sure exactly what the benefits of this are, but I’m sure they exist.

As the previous HTML code seems to have been broken, this may cause some rendering errors for a few websites, but all in all it should work better than it has previously.

I’m not writing out a whole changelog, I’m just going ahead and saying that some changes were made – and hopefully Simple Twitter should work a lot easier for everyone using it.
