If you attempt to assign HTML to an element with OuterText, the HTML code will display as literals in the document, just as if you were viewing HTML within a text file. If you assign HTML to an element using the InnerHtml property, OuterText will return all of the text in that HTML with the markup removed.
Assigning a value to OuterText will destroy any child elements that belong to the element.
