Preserved Topic: document.write and tables (Page 1 of 1)

In javascript can you use document.write to create tables.

I need to create a dynamic table based on the input from a form.

Are there any example out there.

Yes, you can doc write tables. Shouldn't be any different that using Document.Write for anything else....

document.write("<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width=100%>");
document.write("<tr><td>" + blah + other_blah + "</td></tr>");
document.write("</table>");

...and due to an extremely obscure bug in Internet Explorer 5 for the Mac, you need to include a newline character, "\n", after the end table tag...

document.write("</table>\n");

Bugimus, can writeln be used instead of write in that case (so that "\n" doesn't have to be added)?

Thanks for the example. I rewrote my section of code and worked just fine this time. I must have just been missing something stupid...
