Dynamically populate an element styled with white-space: pre

Assume:
$ = document.getElementById;
pre = $('pre-text-element'); //pre-text-element is the ID of my pre tag element
You cannot use:
$('element').innerHTML = 'line1\nline2'; //will not work in IE7
You must do this:
e = $('element');
while(kid=e.firstChild) { e.removeChild(kid) } //remove all children in the
e.appendChild('line1\nline2');
Lame, huh?
