html('') remove all the children's events

[agate]

$.html(val) will remove all children nodes. and all the events which bind on these children nodes.

but if i use DOM.innerHTML = val, the children's events will be kept. so that i can use append function to append the children back to the dom tree. and the children's evnets still can be triggered.

jquery html() remove all the children's events

Using .innerHTML destroys and recreates the DOM; therefore it does remove existing events.
