Table DOM in Mozilla Vs. IE.

[dmjpro]

Have a look at my code snippet ...

function add_row(){
 var tr = some_reference;
 document.getElementById('tab_id').appendChild(tr);
}
 

<table id=tab_id>
<tr id=tr_id>....</tr>
.....
</table>
 

It works in Mozilla but not in IE.
If i do

document.getElementById('tr_id').parentNode.appendChild(tr);

,
now it works in both :-)
Could you explain why this happens ..experts ?

In IE, you need to append to the tbody rather than the table. See this part-article.

I did see that thread, but didn't participate in it. Some of the concepts I needed to figure out for myself before I could contribute, but I think it's resolved now.
