Hi,

Does anyone know how to dynamically change the contents of a table cell in
Netscape? In IE, I put an 'id' on the cell,
<td id='id1'>
and then change the contents using document.all('id1').innerhtml.

I can't get this to work in Netscape. Do I have to make the <td> into a
layer?

thanks.

Try this sample code. Add the IE logic you have to make it cross browser compatible.

Good luck,
Ram
