Re: Javascript Objects problem

Thanks for the replies,

Yes I do have a URL at:-

http://nzsc.co.nz/testform.html

However as you will see from the link I have
acomplished the task now using the old way I
am more familiar with namely with the DIV tag.
and writing the whole table as a string variable.

I was wanting to avoid this because NN & IE operate
differently. But it seems like Rebecca is quite right and
tables are just not javascript objects.

Thanks very much for your interest I find it always seems
to give me a wake up call and breaks me out of a "Bogged Down" state when I
put out a query with HWG.

Many Thanks
Peter Newton
