"Unknown Runtime Error" on Setting HTML into span element. JScript.

I have a <span> element called 'frameContents' into which I want to
insert HTML. As soon as I do I get an "Unknown Runtime Error". I can
insert plain text and everything is OK.

This is OK...
"document.all.frameContents.innerHTML += 'Jimmy';"
....but this isn't....
"document.all.frameContents.innerHTML += '<table></table>';"

The "frameContents" span is...
<span style="display:none" id="frameContents" name="frameContents">
<!-- This span will hold the contents of the loader frame -->
</span>

Has anyone got any ideas?

You're trying to insert a <table> (block-level element) inside a <span>
(inline-level element), creating a syntactically invalid DOM structure that
the browser doesn't know what to do with.
