I'm creating a table using createElement / appendChild and everything

So what can I do? Any ideas?
Difficult to tell without code. In IE, when using
createElement/appendChild for table rows, you must add the rows to a
table section element (tbody, thead, tfoot). Other browsers allow you
to append created rows to the table and then add them to the tbody.
If you have a reference to an existing row, you can do something like:
var oTR = document.createElement('tr');
rowRef.parentNode.appendChild(oTR);
insertRow is normally pretty reliable since it is DOM 1, remember to
include an index value for where to put the row (IE allows you to omit
it):
var oTR = tableRef.insertRow(-1);
'-1' will insert the row as the last in the table. The tableSection
interface supports insertRow too, so you can get a reference to a table
section element and use insertRow with that:
var oTR = tBodyRef.insertRow(-1);
The index must be in the range -1 to tBodyRef.rows.length. I've
created thousands of rows using insertRow in IE and never had any
problem with it.
