javascript_howto thread: insertCell and style


Message #1 by plscribner@w... on Thu, 25 Jul 2002 01:43:12
Hi all,

I use the Document Object Model to create a table and then add rows and 
cells as needed by my application.  One problem I haven't been able to 
figure out is how to set the width of the cells.  I set the contents of 
each new cell using myNewCell.innerHTML = .... followed by a Div. Here's 
two simple lines...

    myNewCell=myNewRow.insertCell();
    myNewCell.innerHTML='<Div class="small"   style="display:block">'+xfer
[x+3]+'</div>'

This works fine BUT using the 'width' parameter either in the Div or 
within the 'style' gets me either no results or wierd results (like 
squashing the test into a small portion of the cell while expanding the 
cell's width.

If anyone has a suggestion for this problem I would be most grateful.  
Thanks in advance for taking the time to think about this.

Peter
