Tables and innerHTML
I screwed up, and I learned: don’t try to write to a table’s innerHTML property.
# A table’s innerHTML property should never be used to modify a table, although you can use it to write an entire table or the content of a cell.# If DOM Core methods document.createElement and element.appendChild are used to create rows and cells, IE requires that they are appended to a tbody element, whereas other browsers will allow appending to a table element (the rows will be added to the last tbody element).# There are a number of other convenience methods belonging to the table interface that can be used for creating and modifying tables.
Gecko DOM Reference:Examples - MDC
Rather than risk a little slowdown with DOM methods (I was creating potentially hundreds of rows and cells), I just used a div and injected a full table into that. But, I learned my lesson.
