Table DOM in Mozilla Vs. IE.

dmjpro · #1 August 27th, 2008, 12:38 PM

Have a look at my code snippet ...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function add_row(){

 var tr = some_reference;

 document.getElementById('tab_id').appendChild(tr);

}

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<table id=tab_id>

<tr id=tr_id>....</tr>

.....

</table>

It works in Mozilla but not in IE.
If i do

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

document.getElementById('tr_id').parentNode.appendChild(tr);

,
now it works in both :-)
Could you explain why this happens ..experts ?

In IE, you need to append to the tbody rather than the table. See this part-article.

I did see that thread, but didn't participate in it. Some of the concepts I needed to figure out for myself before I could contribute, but I think it's resolved now.
