Rewrite/replace table

[Søren M. Olesen]

Hi

What's the best/easiest/fastest way to rewrite a table in javascript...

I've tried something like:

var newgrid=document.createElement("table");
//add some rows and cells
var grid=getElementById("table1");
grid.innerHTML=newgrid.innerHTML;

however the last line gives me a runtime error, so I expect it not allowed
to change the innerHTML this way....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Søren

The Global Object does not have a built-in or host-defined `getElementById'
method. It is a method of the object that can be referred to with
`document' instead.
grid.innerHTML=newgrid.innerHTML;
In contrast to the rest of your code, `innerHTML' is completely proprietary.
Do not expect consistent results.

Replace grid entirely:
grid.parentNode.replaceChild(newgrid, grid);
