Is this a response to my comment about TBODY elements?  If it is, then, no it isn’t specific to Prototype.  Any time you do something like this:

table = document.createElement(‘TABLE’);

tr = document.createElement(‘TR’);

table.appendChild(tr);

 

It won’t work in some browsers.  I can’t remember which ones, offhand, as it was a while ago I learned of the limitation.  The thing is, when you write your HTML without a TBODY element, the browser creates one implicitly in its internal HTML parser.  So, in reality, it is there even though you didn’t write it in your code.  When creating the element via _javascript_, it isn’t necessarily created for you, so you have to explicitly create it.  There may be ways around that by using innerHTML, but I couldn’t vouch for that either way, as I haven’t really tried it.

 

It was just a guess, anyway, as that may not be the problem you’re running into at all. I was just hoping to help.

OK I have ready why, but it makes no sense to me as I have a full blow table generation script that I wrote to run a Timing and Scoring Application.  Is this just a problem with prototype or a real bug in general?  Attached is my script that I wrote that works fine.

 

You can see it in action here:  http://209.43.92.220/html/

Hello,
