Hi,
I want to rewrite a tabel (in another frame). This works but there are mistakes that I don't understand:
1) normally the table head is printed bold, after rewriting it is plain text?
2) if I want to have bold text (either by txt.bold() or by writing <b>txt</b> or by %ltb&gttxt .. those tags appear as plain text with in the tab-cell (not interpreted by the browser)?
3) I use insertRow(i) to have at the last place the new row, but I got the rows: 1,4,3,2 (1 is in the tab-head) and not 1,2,3,4 ?
Hre is my code: The function wrtRow works perfect, the cells are in the correct sequence using appendChild().
What is wrong?

var DOC = eval("parent.Oben.document");
var TAB = DOC.getElementById("TOPTAB");
TAB.deleteTHead();
// delete all rows
while(TAB.rows.length>0) TAB.deleteRow(0);

 // t = "1!id1!text1;2!id2!text2;3!id3!text3"
 var nT = t.split(";");
 // nT.length is now the number tab-lines
 if (nT.length>0) {
  if ( nT[0].search("!") > -1 ) {
  // 1st row should be in tab-head
   wrtRow( TAB.createTHead().insertRow(0), nT[0] );
}
  // Tab-Body:
  for (var i=1; i < nT.length; i++) {
   if ( nT[i].search("!") > -1 )
    wrtRow( TAB.insertRow( i ), nT[i] );
  }
}

Firstly NEVER use 'eval', you don't need it and it opens up a new interpreter each time it is called which drastically slows down lower spec machines. Secondly I think you can miss out the index in the call to insertRow:

Joe,

thanks, I didn't know that about eval.
But with the index of insertRow(i) I want to place the new line at the _bottom_ of the table, but this does not work, obviously - does it?

Well if you don't specify an index it is supposed to add the row to the end of the table. It maybe because you are not using a tbody. I will try to run your code and see.
