I have changed this.

I have also added TextMode as a property so you can choose between InnerText
and InnerHTML

Your use of DivHTML (or any other TTagWidget) is correct, but I needed to
extend the functionality.

If you feel functionality is missing, don't hesitate to say so, and we'll
discuss what can be done.

I've used these widgets in multiple projects, but use cases may vary.

You may want to look at the TSimpleTemplateWidget and TTemplateWidgets if
you need to set innerHTML a lot, I usually use that.
