Hi,
I'm trying to mess about with a table using javascript. I'm deleting the current row then adding a new row and adding a couple of columns. I then want to add either a style attribute and add a border to the bottom of one of the cells or add a class attribute and set it up in the stylesheet. Problem is, when I try to use the setAttribute it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone spot the problem?? Codes below..
Cheers,
Andy

Code:
//javascript
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2'>
function setMenuComment(arg)
{
//remove row
var tbl = document.getElementById('menuCommentTable');
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
if (lastRow > 0) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);
//add row
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
var iteration = lastRow + 1;
var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow);
row.setAttribute('align', 'left');
// left cell
var cellLeft = row.insertCell(0);
blank = document.createTextNode('blank');
cellLeft.appendChild(blank);
// right cell
var cellRight = row.insertCell(1);
var pEl = document.createElement('p');
if(arg=='main'){ text = document.createTextNode('introduction area'); cellRight.setAttribute('width','750');}
else if(arg=='cv'){ text = document.createTextNode('personal profile and information'); cellRight.setAttribute('width','600');}
else if(arg=='downloads'){ text = document.createTextNode('software and documents to download'); cellRight.setAttribute('width','450');}
else if(arg=='links'){ text = document.createTextNode('links to other sites of interest'); cellRight.setAttribute('width','300');}
pEl.appendChild(text);
cellRight.appendChild(pEl);
cellRight.setAttribute("class", "menuInfo") ;
}
