Im looking for some better ideas,samples,documentation for doing the folowing.

I have 5 tabs in my asp page.Each contains a <span>.
Im doing clientside transform for filling the contents of the span, by changing the innerHTML of span.

My xsl is cached in the client side (xslt template/processor) which contains templates for all the span.
So for each span Im requesting the server(xmlhttp) for xml and doing a transform using the cached xsl and changing the innerHTML of the corresponding span.
This is fine as of now.


BUT I know that my transformed output is going to be huge and I read that changing innerHTML is not a proper way for doing this.
This hangs the browser for some seconds. I want to fill the tabs Asynchronous so that it wont hangs the browser.

This article:

Covers innerHTML versus other methods. It deals with the creation of a table instead of plain HTML but the principle is the same.

spanRef.nodeValue is where you should start looking for some speed increases.
