Writing someting in a table cell through Javascript

[Vasu]

Hi!

Could anybody help me guide how to write something in between <td></
tdtags. When I try to write through document.write, it wipes the
whole table and writes on to a blank document, but when I try with
document.getEle mentById("respe ctive id given by me").write, it gives
Error on page.

I'm bit puzzled. Can anyone of you help me.

Thanks in advance
Vasu

Get a reference to the table cell object e.g. with
var cell = document.getEle mentById('cellI d');
then append text with
cell.appendChil d(document.crea teTextNode('foo '));
If you want to insert HTML then you can use the innerHTML property e.g.
cell.innerHTML = '<b>foo</b>';

Both approaches are not specific to td elements.
