Problem on float menu in Mac IE5+

[Cylix]

I have already try two method, but both fail to show on Mac IE5+
I need to show a non-fixed height table after click the button on a
middle of table
Method1:
Using Layer(<div>), when click on it, overflow='visible'
However, overflow='visible' seems a well know bug on Mac IE5+

Method2:
<td id='myRow'></td>
when click the button,
I set myRow.innerHTML = 'MY CONTENT TABLE'
This done what I expect to, however,
When I click the button and set the innerHTML='',
The table seems borken down.

I have set the innerHTML=' '; (with a space)
The row become blank and the table shows normally,
I would like to hide this row by setting the height but seems not work.

Please advise, thanks.

Hi Cyclix,

This may not be very helpful, but according to O'Reilly's "Javascript, the
definite guide 4th edition" IE5 is broken on more than one aspect.
And as it is often with bugs, they surface in some situations, and not in
others. Making a good app a very frustrating task.
You might consider ignoring that browser(version) on Mac.
(I gave up on it and stopped testing for it.)

good luck.

Thanks Erwin,

Unfortunately, my boss is using Mac G5, so I must find the way to do
so.
Does any one have alternative method?
