I have a similar problem with Tables and DIV.

I put a DIV element in the table as follows:
<td><DIV class=someClass ID="total"></DIV></td>

Then, I attempt to change the value of the table cell in Netscape as:
document.layers["total"].document.write(result);

The table cell containing the DIV does get refreshed, but the value doesn't show up. By refreshed, I mean that the background color changes as per the width of the new total, but the characters do not show up. If I resize the window however, the characters show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CLOSE YOUR DOCS
i often had that, don't know if it's really your case but after document.write("anything&quot

, i usually need to add document.close() in order to see things written

I'm sorry I left out the details... Here is a simple code that can re-produce the problem (it is NS specific).

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>DIV & Tables...</TITLE>

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.tc {position:relative; layer-background-color:yellow;}
</STYLE>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

function setTotal(val) {
document.layers["total"].document.open();
document.layers["total"].document.write(val);
document.layers["total"].document.close();
}

</SCRIPT>

<table border="1" bgcolor="Silver">
<th>Total</th>
<tr>
<td><DIV class="tc" ID="total">???</DIV></td>
</tr>
</table>

<FORM name=form1>
<INPUT type="text" name="txt1">
<INPUT type="button" name="btn1" value="Enter new total and click here" onClick="setTotal(document.form1.txt1.value)">
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>
