Hi Folks,

I want to make a function that will display a table. However, I seem to make a lot of mistakes with the syntax... at least the Table certainly doesn't display.
Is this function call correct?
<script type="text/javascript">
ShowTime(A,B,C,D,E,F)
</script>

How about the function itself?
function ShowTime(A,B,C,D,E,F)
{

}

How can I properly format the following <TABLE> as a javascript function?
Syntax like document.write("<TABLE BORDER=2><TR><TD>") doesn't appear to be enough, even though the border should appear

Thanks,

Show the code you have already, and then we can see why it's not working the way you want.

I think it also depends on whether you want to dynamically create the table or if you're just concerned about when a table might be displayed.

If you want to simply build a table dynamically, your best bet is to build the table using the DOM.
var table=document.createElement("table");
var tbody=document.createElement("tbody");
...etc.

If you simply want tables to appear and disappear, you should simply invoke the display style property of the table.

As mentioned by Trollacious, code would be helpful.
