IE not showing a table inside a div

[clivethebadger]

Hi,
I'm constructing some HTML elements dynamically using javascript, the result looks fine in Firefox but IE 6 refuses to show some tables I've got inside Divs.

My code is a bit big so I'll only post the bit in question. Indentation is just for keeping track of where each tag is.

Why does IE behave this way?

Cheers,

IE for some reason requires the tbody tag. You will need to append the table rows to the tbody which should be appended to the table tag.

Thanks, I should have known that really!
