AFAIR the correct accessor is
document.getElementById("balanceText").innerHTML = "111";

Although it appears that it turned out not to be a cross browser issue, you should consider a library such a jquery when working in JavaScript.

you can then write statements such as $('#MY_ELEM_ID').html('MY_NEW_HTML');

and not have to worry abouyt x browser compatibility as much.

There are also many other benefits of such a library.
