How to you position a layer to the upper-left corner of a table cell?

...or...

How can you dynamically write text to a table cell?

Um...

nope those seem good
I'd vote for the first (layers option) I have no proof on this but it seems less CPU intensive.

Does anyone know how bad it is, writing to a layer vs. turning the visibility on or off? I always try to avoid writing to layers where I can it always seems clunky.

this started looking promising, but then it broke...

HTML:
<A HREF="dhtml.html" ONMOUSEOVER="chSMenu(dgfhbjhbkj);">DHTML</A>

JS:
function chSMenu(content){
document.getElementById("nolinks").innerHTML = content;
}

see, it tells me that "dgfhbjhbkj is not an object" (notice there are no quotes around 'dgfhbjhbkj')... how do I go about fixing that?

You add quotes around it, of course.

Single quotes, since it's already inside double quotes for the HTML.

um....*looks around* I knew that... I knew that...

ok, this works just fine as:
ONMOUSEOVER="chSMenu('link to this, link to that-- ya know CSS stuff');"

but when I try to add a link to it, it fucks up:

ONMOUSEOVER="chSMenu('<A HREF=\"blabloo\">link to this, link to that</A>-- ya know CSS stuff');

...and I've tried escaping all the character I could think of... but I've probably missed the most important ones...

Which is the correct combo?

How about saving the string with the link in a variable

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>

and calling the function like that

ONMOUSEOVER="chSMenu(link1);

when I initially looked at your code, it didn't seem to work, but I done typed that in there for lack of a better option and it works like a charm...
