change a class of an object at runtime

[Eitan]

Hello,
I am creating a table cell on runtime.
I want to change the style, so it will look and react like a button.
(style = "border-style: outset").

1) How can I create a button or any element on a cell ?
2) How can I change the style behaviour of a cell ?
3) Can I change the class-name of the cell on runtime ?

Thanks :)

Why not blow the expense and use an actual button?

BTW - alt.html.dhtml, comp.lang.javascript,
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript,
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

...is far too wide a cross-post for this question.
Follow-Ups set to c.l.js.

Well, with regard to question 3), the following javascript works for
me:
document.getElementById('theButton').className = "newClassName";

element.style.borderStyle="outset" (I've never heard of this style)

See above
3) Can I change the class-name of the cell on runtime ?

element.className="yourClassName"

It's a standard style, defined in both CSS 1 and 2:
