Problem
The table, when appended dynamically, does not appear on the page.

Browser
Internet Explorer

Example
The Javascript code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var obj = document.getElementById("someObjectID");
  2. var table = document.createElement("table");
  3. var tr = document.createElement("tr");
  4. var td = document.createElement("td");
  5. ...
  6. tr.appendChild(td);
  7. table.appendChild(tr);
  8. obj.appendChild(table);
Solution
Add a tbody element and append the table row to the tbody:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var obj = document.getElementById("someObjectID");
  2. var table = document.createElement("table");
  3. var tbody = document.createElement("tbody");
  4. var tr = document.createElement("tr");
  5. var td = document.createElement("td");
  6. ...
  7. tr.appendChild(td);
  8. tbody.appendChild(tr);
  9. table.appendChild(tbody);
  10. obj.appendChild(table);

It seems that Ctrl-N in Mozilla opens a new empty browser window. That's fine, I don't need to do anything about it. But Ctrl-N in IE appears to clone the current window. Is there a way to intercept the key so that I can do stuff on the server side to make the new window behave correctly? (We have a JSP-based webapp which stores state in the session. Now if two windows access (and modify!) the same session, then madness will result....

How do you get the height of the client browser in IE? Both document.body.clientHeight and document.body.offsetHeight return the height of the document. If the page is long and there's a vertical scrollbar, you get the height of the entire document, screwing up any chance of centering a window in the browser using these values. Is there a way to get the height of the actual browser window and not the entire page height? Thanks.

Don't you just hate it when you've got something working in every browser (that you've tested on) except the XYZ browser?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
