innerHTML problem with IE

[bmadaras]

I am trying to insert a table I recieve from an AJAX call using the Dojo framework, instead of formating the returned data into a table I have the option of getting the returned data as a formated table ex:<table> ... </table>
I am trying to insert this table into the table row of another table by doing document.getElementById("row").innerHTML=returnedData;

In firefox this works no problem, but with IE I get a Unknown Runtime Error. It also does not work from within a div tag. and I have put the returned string in html and body tags and the browser renders no problem

You cannot insert a table into a row - it's not semantically correct. You should always insert table content into a cell.

Hope this helps,

Yes what BillyRay says is correct. You could insert your table into a cell but not a row. You'd have to post your code about the DIV that sould be no problem at all. the only thing I can think of is the you finding your html elements by ID and the DIV's id is not unique in the document.

Sorry for the delay I had to move on and work on something else a little more time constrained. Yes setting the table into td tag instead of a tr tag worked properly. Thanks for your help and sorry for not closing this out when I got everything working.
