OK, this is fun, and the story is kind of amusing. I'm doing some work for a company, a joint venture between two *very* big swedish companies, where I've been hired to create the "web interface" templates for this system they've built for helping old people live at home longer, and also for helping people in elder-care facilities do their jobs better. There's a whole *bunch* of stuff related to this, but at it's core there are 3 systems, "Access", which controls all of the automatic door locks and such, with different permissions for everybody (nurses can get to the meds cabinet, flaky nephew cannot, etc...) Then there's the "Information" part, where they write weekly letters on what's going on, with diferent levels of people doing there own things, and then finally the "Monitoring", aspect: ie: all the old people wear special bracelets monitoring vital signs, doors and lghts and all sorts of other things get monitored 24 hours a day. |

If insertRow is a W3C recommendation, then I doubt it goes earlier than IE 5. Opera probably doesn't support it, Netscape Nav 4.x definitely doesn't. Mozilla probably does. |

The "Logg" function is just where I chose to test the "killRow()" function, it gets over-excited, heh. The code for it is really simple, and only uses one stylesheet, the rows get written or deleted on the fly, using naught but javascript. It sems to work in Mozilla, but of course explodes in Opera (no surprise there, really.) They'll be using this in a controled environment, so we get to specify which browsers they can use, if they don't have the right one, they need to install it as part of the package! I'm having fun with this, I'm not used to not having to worry about this stuff. Here's the code that does all this... |

Sorry, it's late. The amusing part was that I received special dispensation from a bunch of (otherwise) corporate suit types to share the work with a bunch of lunatics before it got launched. These are *big* secrecy types, I've had to sign several different NDA agreements, and there's a special section specifically allowing me to share the work with the OzoneAsylum. I guess maybe I'm just easily amused. |
